What is Reddit's opinion of Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I am so sorry you are going through this. I'm not in your community, I just stumbled upon your post while scrolling, but you might find it useful to read Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. It's from a US perspective but it talks openly about a family where the father lived his whole life in as a closeted gay man and how that effected his wife and children, both positively and negatively.

This is some retarded ass research. One of the articles:

> The book at the heart of Hines’ complaint is "In the Dream House" by Carmen Maria Machado, an award-winning memoir that tells the story of Machado’s experience in an abusive relationship with an ex-girlfriend. Hines read several passages aloud, including one that referenced a sex toy, hence the prop, she said.

The point of these books aren't to sexualize our children. What the fuck.

Another example of a "pedophile" book.

This shit is retarded. We can't learn about sexual abuse or identity in schools because anything "sexual" is "pornographic". These articles are concerned with highschool students learning about sexuality. This shit is absolutely retarded.

Though rare, it's sometimes possible to find library bindings new on Amazon (see this listing for an example)

I don't know if you go to your local comicons at all, but I've found some really great deals there too. There's always at least two booths that have half-off TPBs.

While I love to support local businesses at much as possible.. in the case of comics, my love and thirst for the medium overrules my guilt of shopping online for cheapest possible price. I only have so much moolah to throw around and I want to make every cent count so I can read as much as possible! (In the past I've even tried reading comics digitally, but it's just not the same.)

Libraries are another good resource. You can discover things you never would've known about, and maybe even get outside your comfort zone a bit because, it's free, so why not. I don't think I would've read the utterly fantastic <em>Fun Home</em> if it weren't for my local library.

https://www.amazon.com/Fun-Home-Tragicomic-Alison-Bechdel/dp/0618871713 Fun Home is a parent/child relation graphic novel that had a broadway show adapted from it. It'd be hard to argue that it's not full of literary merit.

Trees by Warren Ellis and Jason Howard has a main character who is in a relationship with a trans woman. It's a pretty popular series that I actually don't like, so I can't personally recommend it, but don't let my opinion sway you because like I said it is pretty popular.

Low by Rick Remender and Greg Toccini has a lesbian character. She isn't the main character however, and her sexual preference really only plays into about one issue (at least as far as I've read, which is through Vol 2.) Low is one of my favorite ongoing comics right now, I highly recommend it.

I'm pretty sure Jupiter's Circle and Jupiter's Legacy have a few gay characters. I've never read either of the two (so I can't comment on them), but based off of this (NSFW), I'm guessing I'm right.

And in terms of graphic novels, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel is very enjoyable. It has a "sequel" as well called "Are You My Mother". They're both autobiographical, so you may want to avoid them if you're just looking for fiction, but otherwise I do recommend Fun Home (the "sequel" is still in my backlog right now.

Have him read Fun Home by Alison Bechdel.

I would like to recommend Fun Home by Alison Bechdel or The Alcoholic by Jonathan Ames and Dean Haspiel. I think they are both legitimately great, and they are not part of a larger series.

Fun Home by Alison Bechdel

Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut

I would advise against these. Since your girlfriend expressed interest in Lost Girls I'm going to assume that she's more interested in something female oriented, and something more artistic with a capital A. This sort of superhero stuff isn't going to scratch that itch, and Strangers is a bit to violent for her.

If I were you I would get her Fun Home Alison Beckdel. It concerns a woman's recollections about her father in lieu of the revelation that he was leading a secret double life. It's written very well, the art is geared toward engendering an emotional response, it feels intimate, and references great works of literature in order to frame it's story beats.

It's a very, very good piece of comic booking. One that'll open her mind as to what comic books can be.
