Dykes Towatch Out For by Alison Bechdel

Of thee I sing

WILL YOU STOP WHINING ABOUT ALL THE FLAGS? THEY GIVE PEOPLE A SENSE OF SOLIDARITY. IS THAT SO BAD?

•BLESS!

THEY ALSO MAKE PEOPLE STUPID. CHANTING "USA! USA!" DOESN'T EXACTLY FOSTER A NUANCED UNDERSTANDING OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. AND FLAG WAVING INTIMIDATES PEOPLE INTO NOT ASKING QUESTIONS. EVERYONE'S SCARED OF BEING CALLED "UNPATRIOTIC."

NEWSST

WHAT IS PATRIOTISM, ANY. WAY? DO PEOPLE THINK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN?

GOD, FIVE TRILLION DRINK SELECTIONS, AND THERE'S NO UNSWEETENED ICED TEA!

UM...

NEW

BEING AN AMERICAN MEANS HAVING THE FREEDOM TO ASK QUESTIONS! QUESTIONS LIKE, WHAT THE HELL IS BOMBING THE RUBBLE IN AFGHANISTAN GOING TO ACCOMPLISH? ESCALATION IS EXACTLY WHAT BIN LADEN WANTS!

ALL WE'RE DOING IS MAKING MORE PEOPLE WANT TO KILL US!

JEEZ, YEAH. WOULDN'T WANT TO PISS THE TALIBAN OFF.

PAPAYA REPUBLIC

2001 BY ALISON BECHDEL

376

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE THEM HAPPY, QUIT YOUR JOB AND START WEARING A BURQA. OH, AND SINCE YOU'RE QUEER, KNOCK A WALL DOWN ON YOURSELF AND HAVE SOMEONE DRIVE A BULLDOZER OVER IT.

SEE?

THIS IS EXACTLY

WHAT I'M TALKING

ABOUT!

GUZZLER

SUGGEST THATA MULTILATERAL POLICE FORCE MAKES MORE SENSE THAN BOMBS AND COMMANDOS, AND YOU' GET ACCUSED OF BEING A TERRORIST SYMPATHIZER.

WALL ST. JOURNAL

RESULTS OF MEDIA VOTE RECOUNT IN FLORIDA? WHAT MEDIA RECOUNT?

New York Times = BUSH HAS NEW GRAVITAS. SPEAKS 45 MINUTES WITH HARDLY A SLIP

WHAT'S SO THREATENING ABOUT SAYING THAT VIOLENCE IS POINTLESS AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE P WHAT'S SO SEDITIOUS ABOUT SAYING WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER LONGERRANGE CONSEQUENCES IN OUR MIDEAST POLICY THAN THE NEXT BARREL OF OIL?

STICKERS

$199

USA

THEY

HATE US

HOW CAN DISSENT

BE UNAMERICAN?"

Chinos

THEY REALLY HATEU!

The Daily

DISTRESS

LEMME ASK YOU, WHAT'S MORE PATRIOTIC THAN THE CONSCIENTIOUS EXERCISE OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO QUESTION, CRITICIZE, KVETCH AND CARRY ON?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HOPING TO KEEP YOU GOING LONG ENOUGH SO I CAN PERFORM MY OWN PATRIOTIC DUTY UNHINDERED.

NITEP

STAND
