It’s still hanging in my hallway.īechdel retired Dykes in 2008, breaking many hearts (including mine). When I published Women’s Glib, my first collection of women’s humor, in 1991, I included as many of her cartoons as I could, and I was touched when Bechdel drew a copy of Glib into the background of a strip that took place in a women’s bookstore. I fell hard for Dykes and quickly became a cheerleader for Alison’s work. Bechdel covered all the issues, personal and political, important to a lesbian, or a lesbian wannabe, or a straight woman like me who hungered for a world in which women were subjects, not objects. It was women who drove the action - falling in and out of love, building community, becoming politically active, and changing with the times. There were men in the strip too, but they were merely bit players. (Think Friends or Cheers, but everyone’s a dyke.) Wise and funny, it was a sitcom on paper with an all-lesbian cast. At the heart of lesbian life was Bechdel’s Dykes to Watch Out For (DTWOF), a comic strip that didn’t merely reflect but defined, if not codified, what it meant to be a 1980s lesbian.

When white settlers depleted the buffalo, the species began to survive on human meat – first hunting nearby Indians and later the settlers. But nature's wrath and the tomahawks of hostile tribes are not the only threats that this group will be forced to confront, because as the bodies begin to multiply and the truth about the abductors gradually emerges, these rescuers will find out that there are forces in this world that cannot be described in human terms-and that seem to have motivations beyond our comprehension.Ī species, called "Burrowers" by the Natives, used to subsist on buffalo. Venturing out into the unmapped territories is an Irish immigrant desperate to find his lost love, a naïve teen eager to prove his worth, a freedman seeking his fortune, and a hardened pair of battle-weary Indian fighters.
