"Themes and Issues in Asian Cartooning: Cute, Cheap, Mad, and Sexy uses overviews and case studies by knowledgeable scholars to discuss Asian animation, humor magazines, gag cartoons, comic strips, and comic books. The more generalized first half of the book looks at contents and audiences of Malay humor magazines, cultural labor in Korean animation, the reception of "Aladdin" in Islamic Southeast Asia, and a Singaporean comic book as a reflection of that society's personality. Four other chapters treat gender and Asian comics, concentrating on Japanese anime and manga and Indian comic books." "Themes and Issues in Asian Cartooning is of interest to comics fandom, the academic community, and actually, anyone with an interest in Asian popular culture."--BOOK JACKET.
