OnceUponATime in TheEighties, a [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] architect named Apolonio "Pol" Medina Jr. returned from the Middle East and created a comic strip inspired by a friend who bought a pig farm and other antics from his life and work. ''Pugad Baboy'' (Filipino for "pigs' nest") is a [[NewspaperComics newspaper comic]] about the [[SliceOfLife daily lives]] and {{adventure}}s of a community of mostly obese people in a Manila suburb.
It debuted in the ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'' on May 18, 1988, one of the young paper's first comic strips. After 25 years, [[ExecutiveMeddling controversy forced Medina to leave]] on June 6, 2013. Weeks later, it [[http://www.rappler.com/pugad-baboy resumed]] as a {{webcomic}}. It has produced merchandise, book compilations, original graphic novels, and a short-lived live-action TV comedy series.
While the main characters are the [[NuclearFamily Sungcal family]] and their [[FunnyAnimal talking dog]] Polgas, it also features satire on Philippine society, culture, and politics. Thus it has been compared to ''ComicStrip/{{Doonesbury}}''.
!!''Pugad Baboy'' exhibits tropes like:
* AfraidOfNeedles: Tomas. In one strip, he actually pulls a gun in front of a doctor
* ArtEvolution: The early strips resemble little of what they are today in terms of character design. Not only the eyes went bigger, they are also more rounded.
* TheArtifact: [[NoliMeTangere Noli M. Tangere]] is a Communist guerrilla living in plain sight among civilians, and his best friend and occasional [[BashBrothers Bash Brother]] is [[OddFriendship Sergeant Tomas Sabaybunot]]. This was a much bigger deal in the 1980s when the Communist insurgency was a much more prominent threat to national security.
* AuthorAvatar: Medina mentions that he identifies himself with Dagul (for his serious side), Utoy (for his child-like behavior) and Polgas (for his adventurous side).
* AuthorFilibuster: Most of the characters' discussions regarding current events are somehow Medina's social commentary on them. Most of it are dripping with sarcasm.

** Tomas and Bab also had their moments.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Barbie. She's generally nice to most of the community members but unless, you're Tomas and you've arrived home drunk with woman's perfume smeared on your shirt, then you better run.
* CampGay: Pao [[spoiler: and this a plot point in ''Hiwaga ng Duenas'' where he was captured by a cult and the cult wanted pregnant women to be sacrificed, and they thought Pao to be pregnant because his big belly]].
* CerebusSyndrome: Originally and primarily a comedy strip with a focus on SliceOfLife, over the years it has often delved into story arcs of varying seriousness, tackling issues like drug abuse, organized crime and government corruption. Some stories are also {{Fantasy}} and ScienceFiction-oriented.

Pugad Baboy (Filipino for pigs' nest) is about a strip about the adventures of a community of mostly obese people at a Manila suburb. It started in the ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'' in 18 May 1988 and still appears in the paper. It since had grown as a merchandise, some compilations, and briefly a live-action TV comedy series.
Showing the hijinks of Polgas, the Sungcal family's pet dog and TalkingAnimal, it also shows satire on Philippine society, modern culture, and politics. This caused it to be compared to the ''{{Doonesbury}}'' series of comic strips.
!!Pugad Baboy exhibits tropes like:
* ArtEvolution: the early strips resemble little of what they are today in terms of character design. Not only the eyes went bigger, they are also more rounded.
* AuthorAvatar: Pol Medina Jr. sometimes uses Polgas for this.
* {{Badass}}: Polgas in his secret agent persona.
** Dagul also exhibits this, but due to primarily trained in martial arts.
** Tomas and Bab also had their moments.
* BerserkButton: When maid Brosia mentions Dagul's receding line, Dagul will not take it well.
* CampGay: Pao, and [[spoiler: and this a plot point in ''Hiwaga ng Duenas'' where he was captured by a cult and the cult wanted pregnant women to be sacrificed, and they thought Pao to be pregnant because his big belly]].
* ChinesePeople: Mauricio "Mao" Tang, a Chinese store-owner. He is not quite happy at people failing to pay him credit, and is never above using kung-fu and a sword to force them to pay.
* CordonBleughChef: Chef Dagul is perhaps too exotic and insane for his wife when it comes to cooking. For example, who heard of live worms being served on the gourmet?
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Barbie, being an extreme example of StrawFeminist, always gets away when punishing Tomas.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: many of the male drivers, but Joboy the resident mechanic is the worst offender.
* {{Expy}}: Noli's hairstyle and Permastubble are shout-outs to {{Film/Rambo}}.
* {{Fartillery}}: many strips portray this, but Kules the engineer was the most memorable.
