I still have little printouts of the strip taped to my computer and scattered about my desk. :) It's good to see more graphic novels coming out for lesbians, though. I wasn't a fan of the "Dyke's To Watch Out For" strip (perhaps because it was too much about being gay and not about living life as a gay person) but "Fun Home" was wonderful and incredibly poignant. "12 Days" left me angry . . . but for personal reasons because it struck SO close to home. It was beautiful written, drawn, and terribly sad and depressing.
