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
