Dykes to Watch Out For

[da]

Any non-local DTWOF fans out there willing to be on the lookout for something for me?

Alison Bechdel has published a promotional hard-copy of The Daily Distress, the fictional newspaper from her comic, to promote her new book, The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For.

I figure it won't be too tricky for me to buy a copy of the book, but I would really like to get my hands on a copy of the promotional paper as well. I've asked her if she's willing to publish it as a PDF, but expect the publishers won't go for that. I expect our local market isn't big enough to get copies of The Daily Distress and I won't be in Toronto for a while (and who knows when Toronto will get copies anyway; might be a few weeks).

So- if you run across an extra copy: and you don't mind getting it to me, I'd be appreciative.

If you get a copy and can *scan* it for me, I'll be even more appreciative. :)

You don't want to just send a SASE? You would even have the choice of using a US return address, I imagine, if you weren't in a hurry.

I had been thinking that was going to be tricky since the SASE needed US stamps- then I realized we had a stash of them left over. And I was in PA this last week anyhow, so I brought them along and sent the SASE. We'll see if Alison ran out yet!

I'm sad that she has ended the strip for the forseeable future (maybe forever?!)

Oh.

That sucks.

[da-lj.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does.

Apparently it isn't fiscally worth it anymore, because fewer and fewer papers are running it. And it's been online for free.

I think we should email her and ask about a direct subscription-based model.
