		It is an example of her earlier work and although the main characters have remained the same throughout the series, this first novel is an excellent example of an artist who has yet to reach her full potential.
		It is apparent that her skills as an artist have improved and the emerging story line is both timely and to some degree, accurately portrays some of the humorous aspects of life as a lesbian.

		Cartoonist Alison Bechdel draws herself, but don’t look for autobiographical information in her strip ‘Dykes to Watch Out For,’ which marks its 20th anniversary in a newly released compilation.
		“Dykes and Sundry Other Carbon-Based Life-Forms to Watch Out For” (Alyson Publications) is Bechdel’s tenth and latest collection of the popular comic series.
		These national events — plus affairs, interrupted civil unions, naked parents, unexpected pregnancies and professional crises — are echoed and shrewdly skewed in the lives of bookstore propreitor Jezanna, frisky Lois, androgynous Mo, her girlfriend Sydney, frustrated attorney Clarice and girlfriend Toni, as well as gay friend Carlos and neurotic Ginger.

		Book 11 in the Dykes To Watch Out For series finds Alison Bechdel's beloved cast of characters discovering that nothing but change is constant in our multihued terror alert system world.
		Sydney's doctor insists in likening her malignant cells to terrorists, Stuart's home improvement project develops disturbing parallels to Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Ginger's best student turns out to be her most conservative, resulting in an ideology-busting clash of red- and blue-state values.
		In the pages that follow, characters give birth (seems DTWOF midwives are always miles away on skis or a bike when the moment arrives); raise children, find jobs, find love, fight cancer, fight each other, and grieve those lost fighting in Iraq.
