Episode 187: Alison Bechdel

Tuck and Ozzy chat with cartoonist Alison Bechdel (she/her). Topics include:

  • Which Dykes to Watch Out For characters are canonically t4t-married, top surgery'd, or in a nonbinary asexual polycule
  • What did Alison do with that MacArthur genius grant money?
  • Did we successfully convince Alison that DTWOF's Stuart is an egg?!
  • Dyke vs. lesbian vs. gay woman: which one is "coy and ridiculous"?
  • Plus: Alison's relationships with Marx's Capital, the 1980 Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, Sex and the City, and the American Heritage Dictionary
