Alison Bechdel is a Vermont-based cartoonist and author of Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic — a graphic memoir turned Tony-winning Broadway musical. From 1983 to 2008 she drew the popular strip “Dykes to Watch Out For,” which ran in publications across the country, including Seven Days. She now draws single strips when inspiration strikes, as it did for this Wednesday’s national campaign — called the Ides of Trump — to bombard the White House with postcards.

  9. Moe and Sydney have a new cat! I feel like I’ve time traveled back a decade when I used to wait with bated breath for each new episode. Thank you Alison. I’m going to work on my batch of postcards now.

  12. Great to see what everyone is up to. Love them and miss them. Thanks, Alison. Just got in from a postcard writing party.
