From its internet debut in 1998, I have been a fan of Lela Lee's Angry Little Girls comic strip for its cantankerous life view that in spite of its "bite" is shockingly funny, poignant, and sometimes depressive. I stumbled upon this comic strip shortly before graduating from college. Initially the artwork itself caught my attention. How could you possibly resist Kim, the little girl on this mug. As an Asian-American 20 something year old at the time, I had never seen a comic strip with an Asian girl, with multiracial friends, who speaks English. Lela Lee's characters are not the typical anime characters with big eyes, spindly legs, who wear Japanese school uniforms. Her characters have Nietzche-esque conversations that you could digest as fast as one's Twitter.
This stainless steel mug speaks for itself.

Angry Little Girls is one of the newer additions to Sanrio's product lines to debut for "Back to School 2008." To quote the character Deb when you see the merchandise, "What if I get laugh wrinkles?"
