Growing up in an intergenerational immigrant family has a lot of benefits and some funny moments. Our grandmother (halmoni) was notorious for her loud spitting when we were kids. (NOTE: ‘boj is short for 할아버지 haraboji, Korean for grandfather.)
Martin and Rich Lee are second generation Korean American brothers. Martin is a retired elementary school teacher and the illustrator of the strip. Rich is a professor of psychology in Asian American studies at the University of Minnesota and writes the content.
