Ooh, thanks for the reminder, Hec -- I've been meaning to read Fun Home and then not getting to it for ages now.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I read Alison Bechdel's graphic novel / memoir Fun Home yesterday and it's amazing.
FAQWife read that a couple of months ago and loved it! Like amych, I've been meaning to check it out, but keep forgetting.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Thanks for the heads-up -- that sounds very interesting.

Strega and Hec, thanks for the head's ups/revviews.
Also, I need to get some DYKES TO WATCH OUT FOR collections and I keep forgetting.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yes, you do. And everyone needs to get Diane Dimassa and my friend Daphne Gottlieb's new graphic novel, "Jokes and the Unconscious."

Yes, you do.
I'm still pissed that when the Boston Phoenix did away with their "1 In 10" gay lifestyle section and never brought DYKES... over to the regular paper.

Hec, I think you'd really like House of Sugar. It was published in the local weekly and is soon coming out in book form. The author is often talks about music and 40s movies: [link]

Everybody'd probably like it, but it often made me think of Hec.

Thanks, Sue! That's a great strip. Reminded me of early Lynda Barry, but with a very distinct slant. I have to say I concur with her wistfulness about 40s hairstyles and rats.

Yeah, it definitely reminds me of Lynda Barry, but more with wistful than dark turns.
