'''''[http://www.lilywong.net/ The World of Lily Wong]''''' was a comic strip by Larry Feign, an American resident in Hong Kong. It ran in several Hong Kong newspapers from 1986 to 2001.
 
The title character is a [[Hong Kong]] woman married to an American expatriate. The comic focuses on Lily's daily family and professional life, among her live-at-home parents, her ne'er-do-well brother, her henpecked husband and her ethnically -mixed baby daughter. The name of the comic is a parodic [[Shout-Out]] to the classic movie ''[[The World of Suzie Wong]]''.
