Neil Gaiman

The official Neil Gaiman Tumblr, but honestly no better than the unofficial Neil Gaiman Tumblrs out there. Will sometimes have stuff about my dogs or my wife in it.

Archive You can ask things here. Sometimes I answer. (I don't answer things sent as "Fan Mail" here though.)

These are fascinating and enlightening.
When they get to the Sandman story A Game of You, I’d love to know whether it would pass a reverse Bechdel test. Whether there are any scenes in there where a) it has two men in it and b) those two men talk to each other c) about something other than a woman. (Mostly just curious, and a long way from my copies.)

bechdeltestingcomics:

The Sandman #11, 1989, by Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringenberg
It has to have two women in it: Rose Walker, Barbie, Chantal and Zelda.
Who talk to each other: Rose, speaks to Barbie and Chantal.
About something besides a man: They talk about themselves.

I’m also really curious about this series, and I’ll admit I’m a little ashamed that I haven’t read any of it. :/
