“The Bechdel Test” started as a joke in one of her comic strips before becoming one of the most famous measures of gender representation in film. FRANCE 24’s Charli James speaks with acclaimed American cartoonist Alison Bechdel about the true story behind the test and how she uses humour to empower the #queer community in the Trump era.

Comic review: “Dykes to Watch Out For”

A review of Alison Bechdel’s long-running comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For” (and the Bechdel Test).

Diverse Tech Geek

Je viens de finir "Le$$ivĂ©e", le dernier roman graphique d’Alison Bechdel. J’ai beaucoup aimĂ©.

Cette fois on est moins dans le rĂ©cit que dans l’auto-fiction, avec beaucoup de fiction. Ça dĂ©roule une ou deux annĂ©es de la vie d’« Alison Â», des ami·es, collĂšgues, amours, enfants, chĂšvres, chevreaux.

Un effet « small world Â», oĂč on suit la vie d’une dizaine de personnages tous interconnectĂ©s ; c’est complĂštement ma came.

Alison Bechdel: Spent (2025)

Alison Bechdel on tunnettu kahdentyyppisistĂ€ sarjakuvista: lesboyhteisön arkea 1980-2000-luvuilla kuvannut strippisarjiksesta LepakkoelĂ€mÀÀ (Dykes to Watch Out For) ja autofiktiivisistĂ€, lapsen ja vanhemman vĂ€listĂ€ suhdetta psykologisesti tarkastelevista teoksista Hautuukoti ja ÄideistĂ€ parhain. TĂ€mĂ€ uusin teos, Spent, tapahtuu nĂ€iden kahden... Ömmm... Tyylilajin (?) risteyksessĂ€.

Vaikkei Bechdelin muu tuotanto olisikaan tuttua, Spentin teemat ja niiden kÀsittely ovat sen verran mielenkiintoisia, ettei tÀhÀn harmita tarttua: taiteilijuus, raha, toimeentulo, valittu perhe, polyamoriset kokeilut varttuneella iÀlllÀ, ystÀvyys sekÀ tietysti uuden queer-sukupolven kasvun ihmettely.

LepakkoelÀmÀÀ-sarjakuva on minulle rakas ja erityisen rakas hahmona oli taiteilija Bechdelin oma alterego Mo. SpentissÀ Mo ja Bechdel ovat sulautuneet jÀlleen yhdeksi, mikÀ jÀttÀÀ lukijan kummaan tilaan. Saako tÀllaista fiktiivisen hahmon kuolemaa todella surra ja jos saa, miten?
