 Complete
Hothead Paisan by
Diane DiMassa
Hothead Paisan, the over-caffeinated,
media-crazed psychotic lesbian "with scary hair and a fetish
for guns, grenades, mallets, and sharp objects," returns for
more search-and-destroy missions and preventative homicides! A
cult favorite, The Complete Collection combines Hothead Paisan and
Revenge of Hothead Paisan with new strips in a single volume for
the first time.
Can't get enough man-slashing, het-hating
action? Check out this dangerous volume, which brings together two
earlier collections of the adventures of Diane DiMassa's popular
independent comic. Join coffee-addicted lesbian terrorist Hothead
Paisan on her restful vacation in Provincetown, and learn how she
deals with gawking straight couples. Watch her surgical assault on
scary male doctors. Admire her preventive treatment of rapists.
Hothead Paisan goes where the rest of us only dream of going:
"Sentenced to life in a rich white banker's scrotal
sack," she takes revenge on the gapers and gropers of the
city streets, offering her potent "Blow-You-Away Job" in
the form of grenade, gun, and Lysol attacks. But she has a softer
side, too, as shown in her devotion to her cat, Chicken, and her
wise old grandmother. Not for the faint of heart or the
satire-challenged. --Regina Marler

I
wonder what would happen if, say, some lesbian really checked out
for lunch, you know, like say her brain just totally shit the bed
one day, and she starts believing everything she sees on T.V.? So,
like, while she's going about her daily queer routine, all this
T.V. crap is seeping in and she's getting psychotic, and like she
needs therapy really bad, but she doesn't know it? I bet her
boundaries would be really fuzzy. I bet she'd be lots of fun to be
around. I bet she'd be a real...

Excerpt:
Sanity and insanity are, after all, constructs
of the society we live in. As a crude example, lesbianism is now
no longer defined as an illness in that monolithic, biblical work
of the mental health field, the DSM-IV. Yet homosexuality in all
its forms was deemed "pathological" not too long ago.
The shifting poles of society determine what is
"healthy" and what is not, immediately setting up a
field of conflict with the individual. For an individual's mores
and beliefs seldom coincide exactly with those of society - and
this holds especially true for women, intelligent, literary women
even more so. This point of conflict between a society's beliefs
and an individual's forms an important part of how the boundary of
sane/insane is viewed by DiMassa, Gilman, and Plath...
