Selachian posted:Richard's Poor Almanac There have been multiple books about Einstein's brain, including with the phrase "Einstein's Brain" in the title; however, the only one that would have been available at about the time Thompson did this strip was Michael Paterniti's 2000 Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein's Brain. (There was also a 1983 technothriller but that's clearly not what Thompson had in mind, although he may have been thinking of Carl Sagan's 1979 collection Broca's Brain.) The Panda's Thumb is a 1980 collection by Stephen Jay Gould. The rest, Thompson made up.

Hello! I was using this thread to try and catalogue all the missing Dykes to Watch Out For from Essential, but it very quickly outpaced me. As a result I've discovered an archive of Out in the Mountains, a Vermont-based queer newspaper. On top of having, thus far, all the missing comics I've been looking for, there's loads of fun stuff, including a queer Purim party ad (still lowkey mad the Passover strip was omitted from Essential) and this article documenting a then-recent talk Bechdel gave. Anyway, I don't know how often I'll be posting, but I felt I had to thank How Wonderful! for the (pardon the pun) wonderful and insightful commentary, and making this journey a lot more interesting. I may very well double back through my archive journey just to read more of it.

Thank you for the kind words and for the Out of the Mountains clip. I do have a patchy list of the strips missing from the Essential, although it's missing info from a few Firebrand editions I don't have yet. I can just go ahead and post it volume by volume. 1. Dykes to Watch Out For Entirely pre-serialized strips, none of which are included in the Essential, all of which (I think) have been posted in this thread. 2. More Dykes to Watch Out For I don't have this one, but it includes strips #1-23 as well as the last few non-serial strips and, I just found out, the bonus story "Down to the Skin." I think #1-23 have all been posted in this thread. Non-Essential strips: 6 (just the one!) 3. New, Improved Dykes to Watch Out For This one covers #24-77, including the following non-Essentials: 25, 27, 29, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43, 47, 48, 55, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 66, 67, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 77. This is I think the most chopped up portion of the strip if you're going by the Essential. 4. Dykes to Watch Out For: The Sequel (78-126, "Serial Monogamy") Missing: 78, 79, 82, 83, 84, 90, 91, 97, 101, 104, 105, 106, 110, 112, 120, 121, 122, 126 5. Spawn of Dykes to Watch Out For (127-170, "Flesh & Blood") Missing: 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 137, 141, 145, 146, 1748, 151, 159 6. Unnatural Dykes to Watch Out For (171-221, "Sentimental Education") Missing: 175, 176, 177, 179, 183, 185, 186, 187, 189, 191, 192, 199, 206, 207, 213, 215, 220 7. Hot, Throbbing Dykes to Watch Out For (220-263, "Sense & Sensibility") Missing: 223, 225, 227, 233, 239, 240, 249, 259 8. Split-Level Dykes to Watch Out For (264-297, "Demographic Rift") Missing: 264, 268, 269, 285, 287 9. Post-Dykes to Watch Out For (298-337) I don't have this one so I don't know what the bonus story is! But it includes the non-Essentials 299, 300, 310, 315, 322, and 329. 10. Dykes and Other Sundry Lifeforms to Watch Out For (338-397, "Replicants") 338, 341, 344, 345, 350, 351, 355, 357, 363, 364, 366, 372, 381, 382, 383, 384, 386, 387, 388, 394, 396 There's one more volumes after that-- Invasion of the Dykes to Watch Out For-- that I also don't have. The remaining non-Essential strips are: 398, 404, 407, 409, 413, 418, 420, 422, 424, 428, 430, 431, 433, 440, 441, 443, 444, 445, 447, 451, and 455. 456-527 in the Essential is a straight run through to the end. I hope this is useful! It was certainly a kick in the butt to me to remember that I just totally forgot to finish tracking some of these volumes down. I do admire the Essential a lot but it annoys me that strips like Pogo and Krazy Kat etc. have very handsomely dated and comprehensive collected editions but stuff like DtWoF does not. Bechdel is currently kind of a big deal in my field and people are doing all sorts of writing on and around her full-length graphic novels and I wish it were easier for scholars to have access to as important a work as Dykes to Watch Out For without having to scour used book sellers and thrift stores. I have similar gripes about Roberta Gregory's Naughty Bits but that's a whole different thing. Edit: On that note-- a double header since #123 is, I think, a Thanksgiving strip! Dykes to Watch Out For (1991) #122   Clarence Thomas was sworn in on October, 23rd, 1991. The title is a reference to his highly-publicized charges of sexual harassment, centering on Anita Hill. Once again the books are a mix, I think, of actual titles and made-up things. The Revolution of Little Girls is a 1992 novel by Blanche McCary Boyd about a young Southern lesbian who grows up and has a whole bildungsroman on her way to Harvard before careening into 60s and 70s counterculture. I assume The Dance of Rage is meant to be The Dance of Anger, a popular book by Dr. Harriet Lerner about how women should recognize and accept anger as a response to toxic relationships. "Tips on Terrorism" doesn't appear to be anything other than something I have now googled so if I'm disappeared I loved you all. Dykes to Watch Out For (1991) #123  If this is a Thanksgiving strip I think a lentil stew is kind of a funny choice. I've been making vegetarian Thanksgivings for many years and I still like to have something kind of substantial and hefty as the main course. This year I did sweet potato enchiladas. They ruled.

Thanks for the list! Archive.com has digital copies of the first three volumes, so I'm covered there. It'd be nice to have something more comprehensive, not just because I think every strip should be accounted for, but also because those back-of-the-book novellas are Bechdel's first forays into long-form storytelling, and it seems like a massive gap in her creative history to let them rot in the ether. But for now, diving through these newspapers also gives me a fun excuse to explore more thoroughly the history of the queer community (the one in Vermont, anyway.) If folks are interested I'll try and drop more interesting articles, though it might be off-theme. Would you happen to know if 137, y'know, exists? Out in the Mountains skips straight from 136 to 138. (Incidentally, it published straight through to 2007--assuming it never dropped DTWOF, it might help you with your missing volumes when the need arises. I'll let you know when I get there.)
