Mämmilä (February 8, 1992)



It's early 1992, and Lauri Ala-Mämmilä is worried about Finland's future and independence as part of the EU. He refers to UKK, Urho Kaleva Kekkonen, a longtime Finnish president who famously invited foreign dignitaries to sauna, where political matters were discussed and decided. YYA was Ystävyys-, yhteistyö- ja avunantosopimus, a 1948 treaty that formed the basis of Finno-Soviet relations until 1992. As for EU, a referendum on joining was held in October of 1994 with 56.9% of the voters supporting membership.

The thing I love most about this comic is that all the big-talking turbo-patriot Finns flee from the too hot sauna, while Mukku just calmly stays there to carry on the conversation.

Believe it or not, but "I can sit in a hotter sauna than you" is a big thing in dumb Finnish dick waving contests.

I only have excellent ideas
Dykes to Watch Out For #138 (1992)

The headline is about Dan Quayle's controversial remarks about the sitcom Murphy Brown, which had the main character become a single mom in 1992. During a May 19, 1992 speech Quayle criticized the arc for diminishing the importance of fathers and somehow eroding family values. As you might imagine it was a dumb speech that many people disliked.

An interesting contrast that has been kind of floating for awhile now comes to the foreground in this one. Harriet gets mad at Mo for her overbearing emphasis on personal lifestyle decisions, but Harriet is the one super busy with committees, organizing, and activism work. Mo really doesn't come out of the break-up looking great-- one of several points in DtWOF where Bechdel kind of seems to position Mo as a cautionary figure, whose rigidity and binaristic thinking is a big flaw (literally, later, when Mo is flummoxed and hostile towards bisexuality as a concept). Or, perhaps, somebody who's pessimism and despair prevents her from making positive and constructive change in her own world, something which would grate against the very very proactive and pragmatic Harriet. Not that going to endless committees necessarily gets a ton done all the time, but you know, at least she's getting out of the house. We sort of see this build up over the course of the strip, structurally-- Mo working at the shop or hanging out, while the supporting characters come and go from various events and actions, which imo becomes more pointed and poignant as they all march towards middle age together. Anyway I was quite a Mo in my twenties-- and even now sometimes my wife will look at me rambling about something and go "ok, Mo"-- and it is good to get out of that anxiety rut. In my opinion Harriet never stops being a fairly sympathetic character, even as she kind of fades into the background a bit.

Anyway: surprise!

I like how Mo's petting her cat in the first two panels, as if she's trying to draw some comfort during this breakup conversation. The comic's given plenty examples of Mo being tiring to be around with, so I wish Harriet the best here. And maybe it's just me, but it's rare to have a comic feel like it blames most of the breakup on the protagonist while still portraying their love interest in a sympathetic light.
