AB: It's so exciting, Anthony, because, you know, I wrote that comic strip alone in my basement for decades. And I would always imagine, “Wow, I wish I could have a sound effect here, or some music here” and now with this Audible version, it's all come to life: there's voices and sound effects and music and it just really brings this other dimension to this work, which is just magical.

Viewers Are Geniuses: With two characters being academics, and Bechdel herself a bibliophile, there are many academic and literary references well outside the usual Small Reference Pools. Quite a few theories and writers mentioned in the strip crop up in real gender theory classes. The occasional Latin pun crops up as well, and many political issues get discussed in depth. Occasionally averted: Cotton Mather gets the footnote “old puritan dude.”
