Not so Secret Asian Man: comic gets syndication

Submitted by Harry Mok on June 14, 2007 - 10:04am

Toyoshima says on his blog that "this year is going to be a year of challenges and changes. Thanks to all of you who have been supporting the strip for years and to those who criticize me, disagree with me and tell me I’m a moron." According to United Features, Secret Asian Man will be the first nationally syndicated comic strip featuring an Asian American main character. United Features will begin distributing it July 16 to newspapers and at www.comics.com. Secret Asian Man has been weekly strip in Boston's Weekly Dig and other publications (including Hyphen Issue 5). I LMAO when I see Secret Agent Man, and hopefully, as United Features development editor Ted Rail says, "You don't have to be Asian to love Secret Asian Man!"

breyeschow Dear strident "Left" and "Right," Why is a person who disagrees with you about politics and/or faith automatically an idiot? - 1 hour 46 min ago
fluffysharp @w00bliette Eh. Not really. It will do in a pinch. Better to go down to Papalote or up to Little Chihuahua. Better ingredients. - 2 hours 28 min ago
