THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME

I am a regular reader of Alison Bechdel's comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For.

There have been 509 of them over about 20 years.

Bechdel, who just wrote an autobiographical graphic memoir Fun Home (just out in paperback) keeps a blog now.

She has been really busy working on a second book, so she is running old strips of DTWOF.

This one is so astonishingly current that it is scary.

If you have time, go to the archives of the strips (top left of the page).

The story line and the art have evolved over the years.

It is great stuff.

So is Fun Home. I read it and loved it.
