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. Messaging is subjective.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
Online comments may return when we have better tech tools for managing them. Thanks for reading.
