Angry Little Girls by Lela Lee Black and Red reversible canvas tote. New, barely used. No tears or marks. secret side zipper pocket. Angry Little Girls is a comic strip that began in 1994 when Lela Lee used crayola markers to draw her first character the "Angry Little Asian Girl" for a college video class. After she graduated from college, Lela worked at her parent's dry cleaners. To pass the time between the busy morning drop off and after work pick up, she made more episodes of "Angry Little Asian Girl." In the spring of 1998, American Cinemateque screened "Angry Little Asian Girl" for the first time. After the screening, audience members told Lela that they loved the ALAG character. Critics from the LA Times and LA Weekly gave the shorts glowing reviews. This feedback inspired her to make Angry Little Asian Girl t-shirts. With a credit card and gumption, Lela got 300 shirts screen printed. At first, her friends bought the shirts and the rest she sold out of her Corolla station wagon. In late 1998, Lela launched a website enabling her word of mouth to grow further. The internet allowed her to expand her reach and readership for her self-published, then titled, Angry Little Asian Girl comics.
