Latino USA: A Cartoon History

This kind of reading is right up my alley. It was filled with satire and pop culture references that made it easy to comprehend. Perhaps one of my favorite lines is in the very first page where the author is introduced. "scientific name deux obnoxious spanglishicus." Replacing too with the spanish two and adding -icus to the end of spanglish adds onto the satire of people who can't comprehend Spanish but try to. This piece of literature was actually very informative whilst funny compare to history books that give you the hard facts right away. I managed to learn that Mexican descents are the largest subgroup within the latino population and I didn't have to read the sentence twice. I always thought that all comics were constructed the same way just drawn differently, except now. When I read Caroline and American Born Chinese I realize it's the way the author executes their story and the detail they put into color, spacing, and what words they choose.
