Bio:
Marvin Mallard is the founder and president of Mallard's Mustard, one of the giant condiment companies in the city of Gray Lassie. Despite the company's success, Marvin wanted more.

Marvin developed a plan to sabotage all of his competitors. Marvin hired a new mascot for his company, Mister Mustard, and would borrow the Mister Mustard costume when performing his heinous crimes.

Hot Dog finally caught up to the evil Mister Mustard at Old McArthur's Anchovies. In a televised struggle, Hot Dog stopped Mister Mustard and revealed him to the world. Marvin Mallard was taken away to jail vowing vengeance against Hot Dog.

Behind-the-scenes:
When developing ideas for various enemies for Hot Dog one of the obvious choices was to create a villain that followed the same theme as Hot Dog himself. Thus was born Mister Mustard. It was really from the creation of Mister Mustard that the inspiration for Hot Dog's origin came about. The basic premise was that Mister Mustard would be sabotaging condiment plants leading to unsuspecting Frank Retruf being infected and metamorphosing into Hot Dog. Mustard's alter ego, Marvin Mallard, was named only after the Hot Dog weekly strip had already started.
