Characters
The main characters are Moochwala the detective and his pet dog Pooch. Moochwala in Hindi literally means "a person with a moustache". He is depicted as a pot-bellied, stubby legged man with little hair, and a trademark inverted "V" moustache. The crime fighting duo were sometimes referred to in the strip as "Mooch and Pooch", and managed to crack even the most difficult cases. Pooch was of indeterminate breed, and possessed above average intelligence for a dog.
Another notable feature of the strip was the names of Police Inspectors who came to clean up at the end of the strip; they always had very apt Hindi-English words.

“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“No author has created with less emphasis such pathetic characters as Chekhov has....”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
