Despite their circumstances Hanselmann declares his mother did "a really fucking amazing job"[2] wherein she provided him with lots of toys, books, and a safe home environment.
[4] Although the title characters are a witch and a cat, like the popular 1970s children's book heroes Meg and Mog, "they are emphatically not the same".
[5] In Hanselmann's stories, the pair are "depressed drug users struggling with life",[5] and are usually accompanied by two other regular characters, the uptight Owl and the highly volatile Werewolf Jones.
In October 2022, Megg, Mogg & Owl made their animated debut in the anthology film The Paloni Show!
The short is titled Megahex, Devil’s Night, and featured the voices of Emma Chamberlain as Megg, Macaulay Culkin as Mogg, Dave Foley as Owl, and Jon Glaser as Werewolf Jones.
