Lela Lee's Angry Little Girls | Comics with 'tude | Online sale til Dec 8

Posted by Tamiko, December 5, 2007 12:30 AM |

With all the shenanigans at the mall and the stress of ribbons, gifts, baking and the like, it's okay if you get a tad angry. Which is why you may relate to Lela Lee's ANGRY LITTLE GIRLS--charming comics with a hint of rage.

Lela first began with ANGRY LITTLE ASIAN GIRL, a set of comics and short films about a girl named Kim with an acerbic wit and an acid tongue. The comics tackle racism and gender issues as Kim and her angry little girl cohorts Disenchanted Debra, Gloomy Xyla, Soul Sistah Wanda and Crazy Maria go about their angry little lives.

A taste of Kim? In one early cartoon, an adult tells Kim she speaks "good English." Kim can't hold back: "I was born here, you stupid dip s*?%@! Don't you know anything about immigration? Read some history books, you stupid ignoramus!"

And Jill too, she fall down
He get up, Jack go home.
He no care Jill,
