Unnatural Dykes to Watch out For is Alison Bechdel's sixth sordid collection, her candid cartoon expose of contemporary lesbian life. She gives us a complete and unexpurgated look at the women - our heroines - who have "strayed beyond the bounds of decent society."
*****
This book is best if you're already familiar with the series, but still quite enjoyable if you're not. It's light drama centered around a group of lesbian friends and the people they interract with. I found the characters to be a little too stereotypical (one works in an independent women's bookstore, another is a rabid political activist, another a new stay-at-home-mom...), but fun nonetheless. Recommended for people who don't mind culture outside the mainstream.
