YMMV / Lat

Go To

  • Unintentional Period Piece: Most of Lat's comics that are sold in paperback anthologies date from The '80s, and it shows.
    • The technology level is still at cathodic televisions, landline rotary phones, movies on VHS tapes and music on audio cassettes.
    • Mahathir is still Prime Minister (to be fair, he served as Prime Minister from 1981 until 2003, and came back in 2018 until 2020), Ghafar is his Vice-Prime Minister and Shahrum is the Director-General of Museums.
    • Most of the fashion is casual timeless Malaysian dress, but some women have '80s Hair and some young men wear Elvis Presley quiffs and leather jackets.
  • Values Dissonance: Lat's dad giving him a brutal slap as punishment for stealing tin from a factory can be considered quite harsh for those who don't condone corporal punishment. So, in recent editions, this part has been redrawn and Lat's dad is instead just shown chasing him throughout the village.
