Ever since its rise in the 1970s, feminist theory has defined its field, and often its methods, by a series of dualities that have provided clarity and momentum to feminism even as they have been widely disputed. At first, the category “woman” proposed a gender binary (man/woman); later, the gay rights movement emphasized the binaries of hetero/homo and in/out. Although identifying as a member of any of these categories was an initially liberating action, many women eventually felt limited by those binaries. The dissertation explores the implications of lesbian comix for these problematic binaries. The introduction discusses how outing someone as (for example) lesbian fails to fully recognize the myriad aspects of any subject and offers framing as an alternative. Instead of being reduced to a single side of a reductive binary, subjects can be framed as many things simultaneously and move among several frames. Chapter One discusses framing as a way of understanding the particularity of this material and its dependence on the frames it invokes as comix. Chapter Two focuses on what it means to frame any text, including comix, as lesbian. Whereas the first two chapters outlined problems, histories, and theories with the help of sequences, the following two use sequences to illustrate two key modes of resistance prominent in lesbian comix: gender representation and violence. An analysis of a panel from Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For poking fun at Judith Butler's landmark Gender Trouble focuses Chapter Three's discussion of gendered performativity through drag in lesbian comix. Chapter Four uses this discussion to foreground a reading of a rape-revenge sequence from Diane DiMassa's Hothead Paisan, whose use of the comix medium makes readers complicit in Hothead's revenge. The conclusion reviews the effects of using lesbian comix to raise questions about framing beyond comix in a world where binaries no longer suffice even though the dominant ideology tells us that there are no other options to explain who and what we are, as subjects and as people.
