Tio Chango ("Uncle Monkey", a play on words of the phrase "I'll be a Monkey's Uncle") is a fictional company concocted by independent comic-book creators and friends Rafael Navarro, Javier Hernandez, and Michael Aushenker.

The fictional company was featured in faux advertisements within their imprint, Big Umbrella (of which creators Ted Seko and Rhode Montijo were also members). Despite the fact that the imprint disbanded in 2003 due to some financial problems, the creators still remain friends and they often use the fictional company within their privately-owned or collaborative works.

The inspiration for the creation of the fake company was the sugary chocolate-milk powder packets sold across Mexico that creators Navarro and Hernandez had grown up drinking. For this reason, Tio Chango specializes in its chocolate-milk powder packets as well as a number of other confectionery treats including churros. No official slogan exists for the fictional company other than the phrases "¡Muy Bueno!" and "¡Qué Rico!"
