Themes
and Issues in Asian Cartooning
Cute, Cheap, Mad, and
Sexy
Edited by John A. Lent
Popular Press
Today, comic art is the favorite reading
fare for millions of Asians, and is a government-sanctioned,
value-added product, as in the case of Korean and Japanese animation.
Yet not much is known about Asian cartooning.
Themes and Issues in Asian Cartooning uses overviews and
case studies by scholars to discuss Asian animation, humor magazines,
gag cartoons, comic strips, and comic books. The 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.
