  Obviously this book fucking rocks. It's the sexiest of the DTWOF, if I remember correctly. I can't believe I found it in the thrift store of my small hometown. It's out of print now!

  After putting it off for years I'm gradually working my way through the Dykes to Watch Out for Series. This one is my favorite so far. In "Hot, Throbbing Dykes to Watch Out For", Madwimmin Books, the feminist book shop that several of the comic's characters work at is having trouble making ends meet and is threatened with closure. When the whole community rallies around the bookstore to help it raise money to keep it's doors open it's like a big liberal fairy tale. It's a story I've experienced with both a happy ending and a sad one many times before and it's captured realistically and poignantly. This volume also deals with the themes of gay adoption and coming out to Catholic parents. Not sure why I waited so long to read this comic. I am loving it so much. On to the next issue!

  As good as the other collection I had, but this one has what might be the best title for a comic collection EVER.

  Mo, sos medio insoportable pero sabé que te banco. Cuestión de sentirse identificado, supongo.

  I forget these exist and then remember again and read another one and enjoy it! I like the characters, I feel for them and laugh with them, and I like the glimpse of the past -- it is so purely of the time it was written, Bechdel was writing in and for her moment, and it is a time I lived through but I was much younger then, so it is interesting to look back on it from my now.

  I picked this up because the library didn't have Essential Dykes to Watch out For and it didn't disappoint. I am sucked in and have requested ever other DtWOF that the library has!

  I guess the title gives it away, but there's definitely the most action in this book of all the others so far. Very entertaining, definitely unputdownable plotwise.

  It's funny to reread old Dykes To Watch Out For anthologies ten years later and remember the stuff we were so worried about then- pre-Bush, it all seems so petty now. I still love these comics, although the characters seem like cliche composite queers now. And the storyline in this collection where all the friends gang up on one of them for using Prozac- clearly, this was written before it was considered 'politically correct'/acceptable to be on psychiatric medication. Ye-owch. I certainly hope Alison Bechdel was taken to task for that one.
  
  Still, the Dykes To Watch Out For series holds up over time. If you never read them in the 90's, now is a great time to acquaint yourself.

  So this one is NR. 7 so now I'm following the segment of what I started.
  
  This book is about the struggles they are having to keep the book store open and that Lois came up with the idea of selling dildos and sexual paraphernalia which made a positive money increase to the shop. Ginger finally finished her doctorate; Mo gets in a relationship with Sidney; Clarisse won the adoption of Rafi, Lois decided not to take Prozac anymore.
