Alison Bechdel, queer comics superstar

Ah, those referrer logs. Mine are currently revealing that several people are currently reposting my comics in their blogs -- I wouldn't mind, only the praise goes to the reposter, and not to me ... and it looks like Alison Bechdel's led her straight to this little photo-story I did a while back, not to mention all the associated wrangling on livejournal about whether lesbians preferred cats to dogs and whether Princess Anne was a likely name for a queer('s) dog!

And here's her response -- a very kind comment and link! There's even a link to Caption! So nice! I got a lovely email, too -- not from Alison herself, but from Cathy Resmer who works with her. Scroll down the page to check out the cute pictures of Alison Bechdel and krisdresen, among others, and don't forget to check out Shameless, her latest strip -- about Pride, and isn't that appropriate for this week, what with the Big Gay Out (groan) coming up. Cynthia (the blonde girl on the bike) is this reactionary christian right-to-lifer, but I have dark suspicions about her. I think she might be covering things up.

Me and my soap operas ...

Note: closer reading of the Dykes to Watch Out For website informs me that "bat life" (lepakkoelämää) is finnish slang for "promiscuous lesbian." Seriously. It's in the FAQ.
