Bechdel strains her characters through understanding their own internalized logic of oppression even after their supposed awakenings. That is a good way to keep new readers interested without having to understand back plots. Each strip entertaining even if it turns slice of life if not punchy.

I always enjoy Allison Bechdel's work, and this volume of Dykes to Watch Out For didn't disappoint! funny & engaging, I want to read the entire series. This volume touched on interpersonal plot as well as larger political themes and it just left me wanting to be a part of this quirky group of friends.

Really enjoying this, but it is depressing to read about the politics of 1990 and see that little or nothing has changed. Here is an example of a political harague that the character Mo goes on: "...And so Bush and his bloodthirsty buddies in the defense biz can play 'whose is bigger' in the Persian Gulf, and prove that we need even more money for military spending! And look at this! The media don't even question what we're doing over there! They just whip everyone into a frenzy over 'protecting the American way of life' and call Saddam Hussein 'Hitler' to boost their ratings!"
SOUND FAMILIAR? Sigh...
