Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Will Alison Bechdel ever put a foot wrong? Will she ever lose her sense of humor about the goofy vicissitudes of the lesbian community? If this seventh book of her serial cartoon collection about Mo, the feminist bookseller everywoman and her cohorts, is any indication, I'd have to say no. Bechdel here sets her wry and wonderful sights on the explosion of lesbian erotica.


From Booklist

Bechdel's comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For resembles Armistead Maupin's prose-only serial Tales of the City, but Bechdel's all-lesbian main cast affords gays an in-group pleasure that Maupin's all-preferences cast doesn't, and her mock-soap-operatics are funnier and smarter than Maupin's. In the seventh Dykes collection, lesbian mom Toni and her lover Clarice move Clarice's suit to become legal coparent forward; a young lesbian-deconstructionist professor comes to town and antagonizes-attracts gay-left purist Mo; African American Ph.D. candidate Ginger finally writes that dissertation; and the strip's principal setting, Madwimmin Books, weathers financial crisis and an erotica-oriented fund-raiser that mortifies owner Jezanna no end ("`I'll open a bookstore' I thought. `The life of the mind,' I thought"). As usual, the dialogue crackles with intelligence, insight, and a humane wit that Bechdel's wry draftsmanship matches. True, it probably demands an "R" rating, but any horse frightened by these dykes' doings is a pansy of a pony, indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alison Bechdel just keeps getting better, July 31, 1997
By A Customer
Warning: if you haven't read this book, this review is a spoiler!

I really liked this latest book by Ms. Bechdel. It's nice to see good things happening for the characters: Mo stirs herself and goes after Sidney instead of whining about her lack of a girlfriend. Ginger finally gets her PhD. Toni's parents seem to be ok her lesbianism, and Clarice and Toni revitalize their partnership which has been languishing since the arrival of Raffi, and one of the most important items, Clarice's second parent adoption is approved!

I can't wait for the next book! Unfortunately, Ms. Bechdel only comes out :-) with a new book every 2 years or so. I hope she never stops this comic strip

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest cartoons being drawn, June 23, 1999
By A Customer
I love Bechdel's characters (my husband - yes, husband - says I remind him a *lot* of Mo when I go off on a tangent). The Madwimmin-a-go-go benefit at the end had us both laughing till we cried. Long live the mad women of Madwimmen!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, June 26, 1998
By A Customer
After having read the occasional DTWOF in the local gay and lesbian press, I finally bought this collection of strips. I was incredibly impressed! Not only is this book *VERY* funny, but all of the characters seem to embody the diversity withing the gay and lesbian community. I couldn't put it down!
