In Response to: "Angry Little Asian Girl" by Lela Lee
"Angry Little Asian Girl" is a very popular comic who deals with important issues in everyday life namely regarding Asian Americans. I never personally got into the comics myself but reading them myself I can understand why it is so popular. These comics take very controversial issues involving Asian Americans and tries to teach people about them. However this comic does so by using Asian stereotypes which seems very contradictory. In my opinion this tactic in addition to the comedy behind the comics themselves are genius. It takes issues in a lighthearted way. People can view the comic they want to whether it be for in depth analysis or simply for a surface joke. The comic spans a wide range of audience and with this big contradiction has become very successful.
Questions:
1) Do people namely associate with the surface reading or in depth subject matter of this comic?
2) What is the target audience the creator was trying to address.
