And yet he's not drawing everyone in masks so that makes his sentiments ring hollow. Don't force the customer to buy more of your books when you're the one who messed up, you old bat.

Dykes to Watch Out For #136 (1992) Spoiler for nudity:  By the 1990s the VHS format had firmly won the war between early home video technologies. I can't find any easy-to-hand statistics about VHS ownership over time so I don't know how behind the curve Harriet is here-- but it had been commercially available for a pretty long time by 1992. Malika's camcorder, which as we'll see soon records onto normal VHS tapes, is a little more cutting edge, since that format was introduced commercially in 1987. These are the most boring notes possible for a comic about a sex-tape. One thing I love about this arc is that while Bechdel has, I think, made Mo endearing to the readers in a lot of ways, it's hard to fault Harriet either. Batman (11/16/1989)  Batman and Alfred remain at an impasse about whether or not to turn off the TV. Edit: Does Catwoman kill people? In 1989 it's hard to say. After a huge line-wide crossover, DC Comics rebooted their continuity in 1986, streamlining some characters' histories, changing others, and completely erasing some-- setting up the "post-crisis" versions of the setting which remained in place through the late 80s, 90s, and part of the aughts. While the post-crisis Catwoman was definitely a grittier character with a darker origin, she didn't really kill very much-- in a 1988 miniseries she accidentally had a pimp fall to his death but felt torn by guilt about it. In the 1970s she did kill now and again but these were relegated by the fussy minds at DC to an alternate continuity since it fit neither her "main" continuity's behaviors nor the behavior of her primary alternate reality counterpart, which was married to Bruce Wayne. Obviously this story is just beginning, so who knows if she really killed these guys, and this is taking place in its own weird continuity anyway. But setting this plot off with the suggestion that Catwoman is on a killing spree definitely might have struck comics fans as odd and an intriguing crumb.

amigolupus posted:I don't get why she's got a thousand-yard stare going on after mending those clothes. PainterofCrap posted:Ever do mending? It sucks...which is why she put it off for months & months. Yes, this. Mending is the worst. My favorite pair of jeans I haven't worn in months because I just can't seem to get around to sewing a patch on them. The first few panels led me to expect the rest of the strip to be a lecture to Liz about how she should fold her own clothes now, so I was pleasantly surprised by how it actually played out.

How Wonderful! posted:Dykes to Watch Out For #136 (1992) It's a little bit weird that after two previous almost-breakups over more substantial matters the one that sticks is set off by a mild spat. I wonder why Bechdel decided to break them up for real this time - did she think the relationship didn't provide good material, did she want to write the upcoming "horny Mo" stories, was she already planning for Sydney, ?

The Dinette Set isn't a mind reader. Working Daze is pretty heavy, man.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix lingers on long past its time.  Cul De Sac might want to build up to that.

My favorite pair of jeans I haven't worn in months because I just can't seem to get around to sewing a patch on them. I guess it's because I'm fine with mending. I just sit down, listen to streams or music and let myself get carried away with the task. It's relaxing, in a way.  If you flip their genders, this is a creepy scenario where a woman is randomly approached by a man acting way too friendly for someone who's a random follower on social media. Can't say I'm surprised at Mary Worth trying to make that sound romantic. curtadams posted:Home sex tapes were very cutting-edge culturally at the time, even though the technology had been around a couple of years. Even today they're mildly transgressive. The way Mo and Harriet break up over such a small thing doesn't seem too weird. The two major fights between them caused some fractures in their relationship, and things only got worse from there. Every time Mo and Harriet appeared together, things between them look a lot colder than before. It really was only just a matter of time before they broke up. The way I see it, Mo was in denial about how their relationship had deteriorated and thought that if she kept acting like she normally did, things would settle down between them. Meanwhile, Harriet lost the shine that she could 'fix' Mo and got fed up with how Mo never turns 'off' with her activism.

It reminds me of- do you have that friend or acquantaince who complains so often about how hard it has been to quarantine or wear their mask or social distance and how they just can't wait for it to all be over, but any time you've ever actually seen them, they haven't loving done any of those things?
