Bitchy Butch: World's Angriest Dyke

by Gregory Gregory

Bitchy Butch (Bitchy Bitch's lesbian cousin) takes over the fifth and most fiercely funny of the "Naughty Bits" collections. Most of this book did not appear in "NB" but in "Gay Comix" and more obscure mags, so Gregory fans will be delighted at some of the surprises, including a new story!

[Thomas Hale · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read concurrently with Hothead Paisan. A spinoff of her Bitchy Bitch character, Gregory uses Butch as a mouthpiece for righteous lesbian rage - often impotent and self-defeating, nostalgic for a more innocent and yet more radical time of her youth. While not as violent ascontemporaries like Hothead or DTWOF's Mo, Butch's rants have a similar desperate cynicism as her worldview is challenged by the widening scope of queerness in the early 90s. A more sympathetic character than Hothead as well as a more critical portrayal by Gregory, with her prejudices often shown to reflect those of the world she finds herself in. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would at the beginning, and it doesn't quite outstay its welcome.

The past is a different country, and while this is a historic piece it reeks of all sorts of lbgtqia+phobic language

pretty fun. Love the artstyle but does often feel a bit too harsh in its portrayal of butchy
