About Putet Comics

Putet Comics was established in 2006 September 7th. The first product was the weekly comics journal with full-color and monthly a comics book.

In 2012, Putet started a website with the name www.putet.com.mm and sold subscription member cards. In 2013 October, Putet Mobile Application was developed for android and iOS users. In 2014, the application version was updated with the Silicon Straits team from Vietnam and maintained by Revo Tech Myanmar.

Putet co-operated with the mobile operators such as MPT, Telenor, Ooredoo and MEC for the monthly subscription payment for the application. In the application, there are thousands of comics from the most famous cartoonists in Myanmar. Short stories, joke, audio story book, the story of Buddha life and some cartoons for manner and life lesson were added to the application later on. In 2019 April, we stopped the monthly subscription with the mobile operators, and we changed to almost free subscription version. The audience need to watch some ads and collect the diamonds to read the comics with that diamonds. Putet comics application is now available on google Play store and www.putet.com.mm.
