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.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Namor gets a stamp? And it's old school Wolverine?

I'm unsurprised about Namor, since he and Captain American and the Human Torch were the core original three Marvel characters revived from the 40s. But I'm boggled that Spider-Woman gets one, and that Elektra gets two. I mean, Elektra's worthy, but where the hell is Ororo? She's the nearest thing Marvel's got to Wonder Woman.

The Torch has a history longer than the Fantastic Four?
And as for Namor...who likes him? He still has a comic? Pfft. Homewrecker.
