Dykes to Watch Out For #142 (1992), by Alison Bechdel  This strip takes place in a halcyon era when your friends could visit you when you were sick. Lois has brought over a few tapes: -The Virgin Machine is a 1988 lesbian drama by director Monika Treut, one of the few women to rise to prominence in the New German Cinema. It's about a German scholar who goes to California to study the ways of lesbian. -Sammy and Rosie Get Laid is a 1987 movie directed by Stephen Frears of My Beautiful Launderette fame. It has sex scenes in it-- I think the thread here is that Lois is giving Mo artsy movies with tits in 'em. Which is a fun character beat--- surely Lois has plenty of actual porn to spare, but she'd like her classy friend Mo to have a high culture time if she's going to be sniffling and looking at nude people. -Lair of the White Worm is a 1988 horror movie by the British provocateur Kenneth Russell. In 2022 I imagine she'd bring over the infinitely smuttier The Devils. I imagine she chose this one because Amanda Donahue is kind of an evil snake dominatrix in it who iirc has sex with a demon. Or who knows. Maybe Mo is a big fan of Peter Capaldi. -How to Female Ejaculate might be an actual documentary or video guide from the time but it might also just be a gag.

From Georgia Dunn's Instagram, Lupin will remain in the comicGeorgia Dunn posted:Many folks have been asking, I wanted to do a post to assure everyone… The comic will go on as is, with Lupin very much a part of the stories each week. ❤️ Writing and drawing Beatrix has been a great comfort these past few years. I’m already looking forward to being able to see Lupin in the comic and write in the spirit of him despite missing him (so much… what a hard morning this has been. 😔 I keep crying during mealtimes, missing him underfoot and throwing everything off the island while waiting sad-lol.) It will do my heart comfort to have him live on in the comic, safe and sound and himself with the other cats. ❤️

Lair of the White Worm is one of those ones I want to like but can never sit through. Maybe I just need to get really, really high and try again. It's a weird, artsy, and kinda kinky movie, I'm surprised to see it referenced but not surprised it was referenced in this comic. Axa

The Devils is smuttier, but White Worm is the horniest film I’ve ever seen. It’s got more kinks than your average AO3 fic.

That's true, and it's too bad Mo didn't have a VCR because the thought of her processing Kenneth Russel with a cold is very funny.

Also, I don't know if anybody has run into this, but there's a blog called "Stripper's Guide" that I recently found, and it's about comics! The author notes: "My name is Allan Holtz. I am a comic strip historian, and author of "American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide." This blog is my outlet for all manner of interesting, oddball and rare material related to comic strip history." http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/
