The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For doesn't include the quintessential strip that sparked the Bechdal Test, which I think is an oversight. Otherwise it was 25 years of political despair: whatever the government, the country is going to the dogs and our freedoms are being eroded, which is manifestly not true. Things did change between 1983 and 2008. Also there's not a single woman in these strips who doesn't cheat on her lover or wife, which I find depressing. Soap opera time.
