You know the (Alison) Bechdel test, which observes that when any film/tv/comics stories are told with women talking, that they almost always talk about men? Well, generations later, some of them still talk nostalgically of men! But mostly it is about relationships, and a variety of women in various shapes and colors and sizes. The we-comic excerpts are loosely connected, with jokey punchlines to strips, but just okay jokes, usually. Can women live without men?! Will they suddenly be different? Will they have better relationships? Of course we know that W/W relationships already exist, so we have some data on that (and in comics, from work such as Dykes to Watch Out For), but what if NO men were around? Will this make women suddenly different? What if women ruled the world?ĭhaliwal's answers to these questions are lightly humorous, not (to me, at least) laugh-out-loud funny. A book based on/derived from Dhaliwal's web comic of the same name about a time in the future when men die out.
