Magersfontein Lugg is a fictional character in the Albert Campion detective novels, written by Margery Allingham.
[2] This sentence frequently appeared in Mad magazine and has achieved some notoriety as an Internet meme, though seldom attributed to either Lugg or Allingham.
Mr Campion himself displays the indifference to social standing which betokens those who have been born to it; like the legendary "true aristocrat" which it is constantly hinted that he is, he associates freely and without embarrassment with all classes of people.
In this way he often succeeds in shaming, or at least embarrassing, Campion, and thus the status dynamic between the two men is made far more interesting and attractive[citation needed] than the traditional master-servant relationship as typified by Lord Peter Wimsey and his man Bunter.
George Sewell portrayed the character in a 1968 adaptation of The Case of the Late Pig for the BBC anthology series Detective.
