The other day I drafted a post criticizing Heathcliff, saying that it is a strip you can safely scroll past because, for as "crazy" as it is is, most of the time it's just something like Heathcliff and the kid watching a pug driving a Go-kart with a pug's face on the front, and the kid says "Pug-Kart." And that's it. Then, two weeks later, you'd see the exact same visual gag but now there would be two pugs driving and the caption would be "Go-Pugs." The strip isn't just lazy, it's repetitive. I wound up not posting it because I thought "What do I care, that's a hyperbolic take; it lands a joke every now and then and it's not that derivative." Then, this week: riderchop posted:Heathcliff riderchop posted:Heathcliff To quote Nick Wiger in that article about modern Heathcliff, “I think I am actually mad.”

At least when they flipped the artwork, they flipped BACK the diplomas. e: actually, I don't think it's flipped! The therapist's leg and arm interact differently with the chair. I think completely redrawing it, but copy/pasting a punchline, almost loops back around to charming again. Huxley fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Dykes to Watch Out For Continuing on with the next chunk of "Serial Monogamy"...      pp. 109: Ok. "____s I Have Known" is a popular little joke format deriving, I think, from the naturalist Ernest Thomas Seton's 1898 book Wild Animals I Have Known. Sample riffs include the novel Riots I Have Known, the memoirs Five Germanys I Have Known and Pianos I Have Known, Dead People I Have Known, Barney Fife and Other Characters I Have Known, and so on. Young Bechdel is sitting here listening to "The Woman in Your Life is You," by the folk singer Alix Dobkin, off of her 1975 LP Lavender Janes Loves Lesbians, which of course Bechdel is also holding. Unfortunately judging by Dobkin's later years and her editorial writing, Lavender Jane Does Not Love Trans People so let's move on. The Second Sex is a classic 1949 text by the feminist existentialist Simone de Beauvoir and remains staple reading for highschool and college students. The basic argument is that in a patriarchal society, women are defined as the shadow of men, and are only perceptible through the negative outline of what's constituted as masculine. She also argues that women have been shackled by the emergence of commerce and, eventually, capitalism, being at once excluded from many forms of labor and often coerced into simply serving as a reproductive unit to create future labor power. It's a good book. Next to that she appears to be reading a Tintin album-- I can't make out the lettering on the bottom of the cover so I don't know if it's a real Tintin or a pastiche. Bechdel has written in various interviews about the influence Herge had on her art-- I think the thumbprint is pretty obvious. Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism is a 1979 book by the philosopher Mary Daly, linking "female energy" to the vagina and the fundamental power of creation. It came under fire by Audre Lorde shortly after its publication for being narrowly Eurocentric and rather oblivious to the myths and lives of women of color. It also includes these following transphobic gems, which, no lie, shoved me all the way into the back of the closet in despair and disgust in college when I first read the drat book, so this page has turned into a true loving bummer to annotate! quote:"Today the Frankenstein phenomenon is omnipresent . . . in . . . phallocratic technology. . . . Transsexualism is an example of male surgical siring which invades the female world with substitutes." quote:"Transsexualism, which Janice Raymond has shown to be essentially a male problem, is an attempt to change males into females, whereas in fact no male can assume female chromosomes and life history/experience." quote:"The surgeons and hormone therapists of the transsexual kingdom . . . can be said to produce feminine persons. They cannot produce women." She was also the dissertation advisor to Janice Raymond, who would go on to publish her thesis as the foundational TERF text The Transsexual Empire. Young Bechdel, get your poo poo together! pp.110: Alison Bechdel's parents will later become central to her two full-length graphic memoirs, Fun Home and Are You My Mother? pp.111: This is just TV trivia. The Brady Bunch was a notoriously wholesome sitcom with a groovy twist, about a widower and a widow with three kids each who get married and wind up with this big rambling household. It ran from 1969 to 1974 and sure enough Florence Henderson, who played Carol Brady, the mother, had a series of affairs during her time on the show. One persistent rumor had it that she (36) dated the 16 year old actor of Peter Brady, which provided plenty of grist for the gossip mill. Danny Bonaduce, who played Danny Partridge on The Partridge Family, was indeed arrested in 1991 for beating and robbing a trans sex worker. Butch Patrick, who played Eddie the werewolf child on The Munsters, has been in and out of rehab several times. pp.113: Bechdel is now reading Tintin Meets the Shakers which sounds like a delightful time. She's also singing "Simple Gifts," a Shaker tune I'm profoundly fond of, composed in 1848 by Elder Joseph Brackett. Some Shakers maintain that it was dictated by an African American spirit, a "gift song" handed down from heaven, which is a lovely and moving theological notion but I'll stick with giving Elder Brackett his shake.
