I was truly sad to read you may not continue DTWOF. It has always been very special to me. There is no smarter comic out there, especially with regard to politics — and by that I mean national politics and the cogent satire of leftist/queer politics. I’ll miss it very much. And, in fact, I hope you change your mind.

In the Bookslut interview, Alison says, “two other people own or have copyright on my work, and it’s just kind of a nightmare.” How did that happen? And can it be fixed?

Regarding your comments on gay marriage in that interview: I’m young and queer and the fight for marriage is not my fight. Or maybe I’m old now (just turned 29). But yeah, there are plenty of radical young queers out there fighting against the pro gay marriage assimilationists… http://makezine.enoughenough.org/prop8.html .

So, Moe is Alison at 23. Who’s Larry? Who’s Curly? Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.

KateL: Which reminds me that when I first got my copy of that one DTWO4 collection, the one with all the Mo-manques on it (what’s the name of it — “Lyrical, Spherical, Diabolical Dykes To Watch Out For”?), I thought of Louis Jordan’s song “Five Guys Named Moe”, and get it stuck in my head every time I see the cover of the book. There’s big Mo, scoodly doo be da da, little bitty Mo ..

Gosh, as a DTWOF reader, I started out thinking that Moe was based on A.B., but then after I started reading A.B.’s comments on this blog, I decided that Moe wasn’t like her at all. Now in her interview, A.B. says that Moe WAS based on herself, age 23! I either stand corrected, or I was right all along!!!
