Lela Lee created the short video "angry little asian girl, the first day of school" her second year (1994) while studying rhetoric at UC Berkeley. After several years, she revisited the project with additional episodes, and it was shown at animation festivals. Inspired, Lela Lee decided to transform her character into a comic and years later, Deborah, Wanda, Maria, Xyla, Pat, Patsy Pup, Percy Cat, and Chuy the Travelin' Chicken grace her weekly online comic for a dedicated following. Though these characters, Lela takes a hilarious, angry and heartfelt look at "What kind of angry are you?" touching on all types of modern angst.
