Has a Type: Both her last boyfriend before coming out and her current male partner look a LOT like Richard Dryfus. What I am watching is a YouTube show by this Dutchman [Martijn Doolaard] who brought two crumbling stone barns in the Italian Alps and restores it in real time. It’s so soothing, the antidote to all of the craziness that we’re living through. He releases episodes weekly, but I’m a year behind so I’m bingeing to catch up. I felt grateful to have that exposure to death as a routine fact of life because most people don’t have that but I continue to grapple with my own mortality.

Aborted Arc: In one of the book-exclusive strips, Toni and Clarice decide to try polyamory. It is only mentioned a couple times more when nothing comes of the idea. When brought up in couples therapy, Toni says that ever since becoming depressed after the 2000 election, Clarice lost interest in anything sexual. Carrie Brownstein does the most amazing Mo. Mo is the central character who was loosely based on me when I started this, you know, 100 years ago. But she just brought this wonderful quality to Mo, she's this sort of Eeyore; this negative yet endearing character. We are here upon the release of Dykes to Watch Out For coming to Audible, which is so exciting—thinking of the journey that this project has been on so many years. Thanks to services like Audible, we have so much more access to LGBTQ stories and content. I know I'm always finding new things to listen to that I love that are queer on Audible.

ALISON BECHDEL: Dykes to Watch Out For was a sort of soap opera kind of strip in gay and lesbian newspapers, and it centered around a women's bookstore where many of the characters worked. And we followed their lives and loves. But, at the same time, we followed current events as they were unfolding and the characters were responding to things going on in the news and politics. Sydney: Stuart? D'you really want to apply that solar model to human behavior? After all, darkness triumphs over the light in June. Unless you mean that war is inevitable, a kind of cyclical, Bataillean squandering of excess energy — a view with which I'm inclined to agree. (everybody glares at her) I'm just saying. Author Avatar: Alison describes her as "[embodying] all the values [she] assumed were part of being a lesbian when [she] came out. Bechdel, Alison. "Same as it ever was, only much worse".

Tropes:

When I moved to Minneapolis in 1986, I had been drawing “Dykes to Watch Out For” for a couple of years but it didn't have those regular characters, I would invent new characters for each episode because I wanted to have regular characters, but I didn't feel like I had the skill to do that, either to draw them recognizably from panel to panel and episode to episode or to create a really rich, believable, dense world for the characters. But another really important influence was the lesbian photographer JEB, whose work I had just discovered, like, in 1979-1980. And she was going around the country taking pictures of lesbians; she just wanted to see pictures of people who looked like her. And I loved her book of photographs and I felt motivated by that same impulse. I want to see people who look like me and my friends. So, that inspired me to just start creating that reflection myself. urn:oclc:863310932 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20111231033959 Scanner scribe16.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Worldcat (source edition)
