The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For Review: Essential Goodness - And there they are on pages 76-77, the first DTWOF strips I ever saw. They were in a student run women's paper in the Fall of 1991, I had just arrived at the university and my life was about to change for the better. Therefore, it's impossible for me to be completely objective when I talk about this strip and its brilliant creator (channeler?), Alison Bechdel. At first I didn't know what to make of the strip - I feel like I walked through my first two decades in a haze because I was not used to a comic strip dramedy. It didn't take me long to fall in love with it. I bought all the collections that were available at the time (three books!), saw Bechdel's slide show when she came around to my school and even wrote her a letter - and she responded. I still have that letter. It's great to see so many strips reproduced here, forming a running narrative of twenty years in the lives of the characters. Not all of the strips are here nor are the nifty little supplements that the older books included but for the first time reader, I don't think they'll feel the loss. They can also go and seek out some of the older books for completion. This is one of the best graphic arts collections of the year. Review: Brilliant! The latest DTWOF book along with a hefty retrospective - Whether you've been anxiously awaiting the next installment after Invasion of the Dykes to Watch Out For, or have lost track of our favorite lesbian heriones and want to get caught up, this is the book for you. Hardcore fans will be delighted to see that we have an entire new book's worth of fresh, unpublished comics to get us up to date. I looked at how many comics each of the previous books has had, and we have an equal amount of new content in this one. But, for only a little bit extra, you get this thick, glorious retrospective which takes us through the entire series, giving us clips and the best highlights from over the years. If you missed the last couple books - no worries - this will catch you up enough to enjoy the latest comics at the end. And if you've read everything and just want the latest book - you won't be disappointed with everything else included. I've read every book multiple times, and I enjoyed reading the entire thing as a lead-up to the new comics at the end. Bechdel is my number one favorite cartoonist ever, and I'm not even a lesbian - I just find her characters are so human and so interesting that I connect with their lives deeply. So if you read Fun House and aren't sure if you might like to move on to this series, I'd encourage you to pick up this book and give it a try. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #114,519 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #79 in LGBTQ+ Demographic Studies #105 in Love, Sex & Marriage Humor #1,055 in Fiction Satire | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (475) | | Dimensions | 8 x 1.17 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0618968806 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0618968800 | | Item Weight | 2.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of Series | The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | November 12, 2008 | | Publisher | Mariner Books | ## Images ![The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81q7VE85vBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Goodness *by E***K on November 14, 2008* And there they are on pages 76-77, the first DTWOF strips I ever saw.

Drawn between 1987 and 2008, the “Dykes” strip focuses on the misadventures and foibles of a group of close-knit LGBT friends as they pursue education, work and love affairs while debating personal politics and political correctness. The strip is funny but also thoughtful in tone. It’s unique in that it features multi-sexual, multi-racial, multi-ethnic characters and continually comments on the culture and politics of the times: lesbian and gay rights, the AIDS epidemic, the wars in Iraq, 9/11, celebrity culture, transgenderism, the financial crisis, etc. The characters attend many an anti-war protest, Pride parade and women’s music festival. They debate and spoof the latest twists in gender theory. The feminist bookstore owner Jezanna rails against “Bunns & Noodle” stealing her business. The protagonist, Mo, is forever analyzing and second-guessing herself (like a lesbian Woody Allen). Her pal Lois is sexually omnivorous and proud of it. Other characters include Harriet, Sparrow, Ginger, Malika, Clarice and Toni and their kid Raffi. They are a lovable, oddball “Our Gang” whose friendships, arguments, love for and exasperation with each other blend into an astute, layered saga of a modern family, with all its warmth and complications. I read this toon when it first ran in alternative newspapers back in the 1990s. Reading it again still made me laugh and think. This would be a great gift for an LGBT or feminist friend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/7076576-the-essential-dykes-to-watch-out](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/7076576-the-essential-dykes-to-watch-out) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
