This was fun! It really just felt to me like watching a sitcom that had good politics. I feel like this selection of comics is not the best (not even including the famous bechdel test), but it was still compelling. Really fun! Ginger is my fave <3

i want my comics to entertain or educate. i already understand - everyone is the same. we all have the same issues, the same feelings on life and living and relationships. mo is so fucking annoying. could not relate.

Had a wonderful time immersing myself in the world of the Dykes to Watch Out For and their comrades.

Didn't super connect with the characters, but I love Alison Bechdel and can't wait to read her new book, Spent! Apparently it features some characters from Dykes to Watch Out For!

Significantly harder to read than I imagined it would be - it is meant to be read contemporarily so keeping track of where in history we were (especially the parts before I was born!) was tough. It was fun though! You really feel it improving at landing comedy beats and having a consistent story throughout.
