Hot, Throbbing Dykes To Watch Out For: Cartoons

Alison's Bechdel's cartoons are a libidinous commentary on the tsunami of lesbian erotica surging through the culture. The familiar cast of characters will keep readers laughing as their carnal mores are revealed.

Hot, Throbbing Dykes To Watch Out For is Alison Bechdel's seventh sensuous cartoon collection, her libidinous commentary on the tsunami of lesbian erotica surging through the culture.

While Mo -- our lesbian-feminist everywoman -- looks on askance, sexy babe Lois and postmodern femme-top Sydney spearhead the thrust into sex toys and higher sales at Madwimmin Books.

In these days of girls writing erotica about boys, and boys writing erotica about girls (so what's new?), Alison Bechdel's exposure of her familiar cast of characters' carnal mores can't help but turn you on and keep you enthralled. Are Clarice and Toni doing it anymore now that they have a child? What is squeaky clean Sparrow like under all that save-the-world goodness? Will Lois tire of her quickie there's-always-another-girl-to bed encounters? And what about Mo?

In a lusty episode written as the climax for the book, cartoon dominatrix Alison asks the penetrating question: Where is Mo on the butch-femme scale? It remains to be seen whether the answer will pass your "wet test", but it certainly will make you laugh.
