Daniel Mok, the artist behind The Mokumentary, builds his comics around awkward interactions, overthinking spirals, and those small, slightly uncomfortable truths that feel oddly familiar. His style is minimal, but the ideas are sharp, often landing somewhere between humor and quiet observation rather than going for an obvious punchline.

Mok works as a copywriter and storyteller, and that background shows in how tightly constructed his ideas are, often balancing humor with a more reflective or even slightly dark undertone. There’s a subtle rhythm to how his comics unfold, simple setups that shift just enough to feel personal. Instead of exaggerating reality, he leans into it, which is exactly what makes these comics so addictive.

Scroll down to explore the latest batch, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself thinking, “why is this so accurate?”

    How is it that this attitude hasn't been evolved out of the human psyche? Surely anyone like this will never reproduce ?

    This occurred after she had been shopping for that flattering dress.

    Actually, many people go to work to meet up with the crew at work. Especially on FRI-endship day.

    " "Dy" is a common slang term used in Malaysia and Singapore (Manglish/Singlish), often influenced by Hokkien dialect and English contractions. Dy (Already) Meaning: A contraction of the word "already". Usage: It is added to the end of sentences to indicate that an action has been completed." So I am guessing the relative is basically saying "You put on weight already, eh girl?"

    I really had to wrangle this one, but: ""Dy" and "Sien" are common slang terms used in Malaysia and Singapore (Manglish/Singlish), often influenced by Hokkien dialect and English contractions. Dy (Already) Meaning: A contraction of the word "already" .Usage: It is added to the end of sentences to indicate that an action has been completed. Sien / Sian (Bored/Tired) Meaning: Derived from Hokkien, it means boring, tiring, tiresome, or bothersome. It describes a feeling of being fed up, "soured," or having a lack of motivation." So, the guy in the second panel is basically saying "I already started work and I feel so fed up", I think?

    " “Chap Goh Meh”, which means ‘the fifteenth night’ in the local Hokkien dialect, is a significant day for the Chinese community in Malaysia. Traditionally, families would celebrate the festival with dinner reunions, blessings and aspirations for a happy, harmonious and bountiful year ahead."

    I'm guessing "CNY" stands for "Chinese New Year" :)

    " "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" is a viral TikTok "brainrot" meme, originating from Indonesia, that blends cultural traditions with nonsensical, AI-generated humor. It combines "Tung Tung Tung" (onomatopoeia for the drum-beating used to wake people for the pre-dawn Ramadan meal) with "Sahur" (the pre-dawn meal)." So... this is a reference to a brainrot meme, I guess.

    The first day of the Chinese New Year falls on the new moon that appears between January 21st and February 20th, so it's a different date every year. I'm guessing the joke here is that there's no leap year that year, so essentially no one has to go back to work after Chinese New Year XD

    I don't get most of these, must be some cultural differences. Even some words used go by me, like NCY or was it CNY? Or thung thung... Chung, whaaat?

    I've often wondered how I'd explain traffic lights to a visiting alien from space . "If the wavelength of the radiation is between 620 to 750 nanometres, you must stop."

    I'm guessing this one isn't exactly "relatable" unless you live in Malaysia.
