Dykes Towatch Out For by Alison Bechdel
fingered
AT CLARICE, TONI, AND RAFFI'S HOUSE... MEEMA, AAGH! STOP! !
LOOK!
CAN'T STAND IT!
IF IT FALLS OUT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP I'LL GET ANOTHER DOLLAR UNDER MY PILLOW AND THEN, AND THEN I'LL HAVE ENOUGH TO BUY ANOTHER PACK OF CARDS!
RAFFI, NO JUMPING. GO BRUSH YOUR
TEETH!
GENTLY!
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS, BUT I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I MEAN, ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO GET MARRIED?!
NOT MARRIED. UNIONIZED. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D DO TO YOUR DRY CLEANING.
CLARICE, LET'S DO IT. LET'S GO TO VERMONT THIS FALL AND DO IT!
WHY? IT WON'T MEAN ANYTHING WHEN WE GET HOME.
IT'S SYMBOLIC! JEEZ, TONI. I NEED IT'S HISTORIC! TO THINK ABOUT IT'S ROMANTIC! IT. WE DON'T WHAT'S YOUR WANT TO RUSH PROBLEM? INTO ANYTHING.
@2000 BY ALISON BECHDEL
'KAY! ALL
READY FOR
MY STORY!
YOU'RE RIGHT. LET'S CHECK BACK
IN ANOTHER 18 YEARS.
VICTORY I VERMONT
WALL PASSES
@TMO & SYDNEY'S PLACE...
THIS IS
So BIZARRE!
I KNOW. I ALWAYS THOUGHT HAVING A LONGER RING FINGER MEANT YOU WERE SMART.
I MEAN YEAH. THE SHIFT FROM OUTSIDER TO THE CITIZEN. THE UNMOORING SENSATION VERMONT OF SUDDENLY BEING SUBSUMED BY A THING. SYSTEM YOUVE BEEN PUSHING AGAINST IT'S...IT'S ALL YOUR LIFE. IT'S A LOSS OF INNO SCARY! CENCE, IN A WAY, A COLONIZATION, THE BEGINNING OF THE WHOLESALE COMMODIFICATION OF OUR LIVES.
NO, I MEAN NOW WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHETHER TO DO IT!
HIGHER LEVELS
OF WD-40 IN
THE WOMB?
VCTORY
OR NOT
OH.
Pussy said to the owl, "You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! 'Oh, let us be married!
Too long we have tarried!
But what shall we do for a ring?'
I THINK IT LOOKS QUITE ELEGANT, CONSIDERING
TWIST
TIE?
YOUR FREAKISHLY LONG
FINGER.
