In the comic, the girl and her mother clearly are at odds. The girl has quite a lot of angst - a lot of which seem to be coming from the mother's antagonizing style of parenting. I read from wikipedia that the author, Lela Lee, was raised in a traditional Korean family. I feel like some of my friends who were raised in traditional Asian families can relate to the comic a lot. The mother in the comic is terribly overbearing and is dismissive of her child's opinions. I really like how the girl breaks the stereotypes of being docile and respectful. My question is, which of my friends can relate heavily to this experience? I would love to hear their stories.
