Dykes Towatch Out For by Alison Bechdel
splendid isolation
SNOW AT LAST! AND ON A SATURDAY!
DIGGER USED TO GET SO EXCITED WHEN IT. SNOWED. SHE'D BE DANCING AROUND, BEGGING FOR ME TO LET HER OUT.
MIND YOUR OWN ENDORPHINS. AND STOP TRYING TO CONVERT ME TO SPINNING. GOD, YOU'RE LIKE A RELIGIOUS ZEALOT!
OH, EXCUSE ME. YOU ARE A RELIGIOUS ZEALOT. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
WE'RE
TRYING TO BE MORE MINDFUL.
OF THINGS LIKE HOW OUR FOOD GOT HERE. FROM THE GROCERY WORKERS, THE TRUCKDRIVERS, AND THE FARMERS, TO THE LIFEGIVING FORCE OF NATURE ITSELF.
I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY. THING NATURAL INA POP TART.
IT'S A WAY TO PRACTICE NONVIOLENCE, APPRECIATING OUR CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER AND THE PLANET.

You
SHOULD TRY IT. IT MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL LESS LONELY..
383
I'M NOT LONELY! AND IF I WERE, I'D DO SOMETHING SANE AND PRACTICAL ABOUT IT; LIKE GO TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY AND GET A DOG.
I KNOW YOU THINK WE'RE FLAKES, BUT THIS IS PRACTICAL AND SANE. IF WE DON'T ALL START BEING MORE AWARE OF OUR INTERDEPENDENCE, WE'RE GOING TO ANNIHILATE OURSELVES.
GINGER, WHY DON'T YOU COME TO MY SPINNING CLASS THIS MORNING, GET YOUR ENDORPHINS GOING?
FINE. GO BACK TO THANKING CERES THE GRAIN GODDESS FOR YOUR BREAKFAST. MAYBE YOU'LL ERADICATE TERRORISM BY LUNCHTIME.
الات
WHO'S IN THE GUEST ROOM? I HOPE I DIDN'T WAKE THEM WHEN I WENT IN TO. GET MY SKIS.
IT'S JONAS. HIS MOM COULDN'T PICK HIM UPLAST NIGHT BECAUSE THE STREETS WEREN'T PLOWED.
YOU'RE BABY-SITTING JASMINE'S KID?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE TAKING A "TIME-OUT FROM HER?
I'M JUST DOING BACKUP WHILE THE PERSON HE USUALLY STAYS WITH IS AWAY.
WOW!
GINGER, LOOK AT THE SNOW! C'MON, LET'S GO OUT AND MAKE A SNOW HOUSE! I'LL BE THE BABY AND YOU BE THE MOTHER!
MAYBE AFTER I
FINISH MY
COFFEE,
JONAS.
回
BEFORE YOU GO DOWN TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE HUMANS A TRY.

CRASH
AND YOU CAN
BE MY OTHER
MOTHER.
