Yeah, I was being generous with the Bechdel parameters, my slant being that they're continuing a lifelong argument about how Sally ruined Laurie's life by forcing her to live out her fantasies, so well worn it's now in shorthand. Er, shorthand which carries backstory about men. Well, there goes my fanwanking hand again...
You are right about the ending with Laurie grabbing life by the bollocks - I think Hutch-Dan icks me so much there I tend to block it out :) Which is a shame, as the image of Laurie in a proper uniform doing damange to the criminal world is fantastic. I'd love to read that 12-issue comic.
I'm leaning on other people's knowlege of mid-80s Millerosity - in 1985 I was occasionally reading my brother's X-Men castoffs, and that was the extent of my comics education for another 15 years :)
