Episode 19 continues the discussion from our previous episode on The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel. Jeff, Angela, and Kathleen are once again joined by special guest Sfé R. Monster
while Jonathon is busy doing work or something. Don’t let the lengthy
discussion on long-running Canadian TV franchises at the start of the
episode fool you, this episode gets in-depth with a seminal comics work,
with politics, representation, and life in general. A melancholy time
was had by all.
Also mentioned in this episode: Fun Home: a Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel Degrassi: Extra Credit by J. Torres, Ed Northcott, and Steve Rolston No Mercy by Alex de Campi and Carla Speed McNeil Vattu by Evan Dahm So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane

Our next episode will cover at least the first two volumes of Bakuman
by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, with the episode after that covering
at least two more volumes. We’re doing a marathon Bakumathon.
Page 165 at long last. I’m pretty happy with this page. And for the record squat toilets don’t make sense. Also a reminder that patrons got to see this page early.
Another page is live. Hope you enjoy it.
Also remember that patrons got to see this a week earlier and got to see some of the process along the way. https://www.patreon.com/jeffellis
Hey guys,
It’s been far too long. Finally wrapped my Cloudscape story and all the Comic Arts Festivals are over. Now I can focus on my other projects like the oft neglected “Crossroads”. Hope you enjoy this page. It was posted a week earlier on my Patreon, so please become a sustaining member and you can get to see these pages sooner, and help me start making them more often.
GO OFF SIS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Read it and then read it again.
“The Most Disrespected Person in America is the Black woman.“👊🏾✊🏿
And yall wonder why black women are angry.
This is why respectability politics, mean nothing. Michelle followed the respectability politics yall laid out for us to a Tee (be educated, be a “good” mother, be a supportive wife, dress modestly, always have your hair done, set a good example, respect yourself first), and the world STILL shames and disrespects her like this.
But keep telling us how the problem is that we wear weave. Keep telling us how the problem is that we act like hoes. Keep telling us that the problem is we don’t “respect” ourselves. Keep telling us that the problem is we’re too strong, we don’t know how to follow behind our man. Keep telling us that the problem is how we carry ourselves instead of just admiting that this world hates black women regardless of what we do.
