I am so happy to see the reviews for this play.

Review: ‘Fun Home’ at the Circle in the Square Theater

Alison Bechdel. Cartoonist and author of the weekly comic Dykes to Look Out For.

She wrote this book, it is a graphic novel, about her own life.

It played Off Broadway and now makes it to the big time with a review on the New York Times that would make anyone ecstatic.

And it is her story too. Bechdel's Dad was a closet homosexual. He ran a funeral home and had odd jobs to make ends meet. The book is funny and teary and full of wonderful thoughts. Not every difficult life has to be a sad one. It is a classic comedy. Tears of joy and sadness combining.

I have read her strip for years and years and now this. Wonderful. Great.
