Xã Xệ and Lý Toét are a satirical duo which became popular fiction characters in sketches published as caricatures through the columns of the modernist Vietnamese newspapers in Tonkin from the 1930s to the 1940s. Their influence went beyond the simple cartoon as they became archetypes of the transformations that Vietnam was going through, so much so that Lý Toét could be considered an "important figure in the urban world of 1930s Vietnam."
