I have been reading Alison Bechdel's cartoon strip for a very long time.

Some of the strips have ended up in the blog.

Now, excitement. A Broadway show! That was an off Broadway show.

Alison seems to be enjoying herself. As she should.

‘Fun Home,’ the Musical, Takes Alison Bechdel’s Life to Broadway

It is all supposed to be pretty close to real life.

"Fun Home" is the name given to her Dad's funeral home where Bechdel grew up. Her dad was also a closeted gay man. You can see the complexities of such a family. Hide and seek 24/7.

The thing about this strip is that it is wise to many things. Gay life. Social hypocrisies. Lesbians. Not much known about that. At least not in your comic section.

I am glad to see she has made the big time. Very happy. Another rung on the gay/lesbian ladder to full social recognition.
