The Complete Strangers in Paradise, Volume 1

These stories just don't resonate with me, and for all intents and purposes, they “should”. I mean, heck, one of my favorite movies is Boys on the Side, one of my favorite comics is Shade the Changing Man–both of which are kind of variations on the same themes of complex relationships between friends and lovers of different genders. But this just doesn't do it for me. I'm getting caricature instead of character. It's a useful text for the Gender in Comics class, I suppose, and I'll be interested to watch the interview with the author for the class, but this series just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather read Dykes to Watch Out For or something again...
