Today's strip, by the way, passes the Bechdel Test.

Works for me. It might be that the uploader disabled access to the UK in an attempt to avoid a take down notice. I do see the settings won't allow the BBcode embed to work, but I can click through to it

If someone's going to note every time the daily strip passes the test, this thread's going to get weird. There's a point to this exercise--though perhaps not one of interest to anyone but myself. I do not approve of this thread, though.
I'm probably going to end up saying that a lot, too. But it looks like I started the thread, and I didn't, so that just the way it is.

Don't fuss. You wrote the post, and even noted in the first sentence that it was off-topic where it was. It is commonplace to divide topics into their own threads, though we actually take less trouble to do that here than in most other forums I know. If people don't want to discuss it further, it will quietly die.
EDIT - I missed some earlier posts, and the first post of this thread is now not by ReindeerFlotilla (though it was prompted by RF).
ReindeerFlotilla:
Well that came off rather snide.
You're the administrator. You got admin stuff to do. Did you see me saying you were wrong?
I don't know if the forum software makes impossible to divide/move a post without making it look the post author started the thread, and I didn't ask. It's done. But I did not start this thread. I wouldn't have. I don't like that it is displayed as if I did. I think I'm entitled to say so.
So, please skip the condescension. I'm not questioning anyone's authority. I'm exercising my right to an opinion, and I don't see any rules saying this particular opinion is bad form.

Hmm looking through the first few strips shows that comic 46 isn't the first pass on the Bechdel test, comic 15 is.
"It has to have at least two women in it, who talk to each other, about something besides a man."
There are two (unnamed) female characters who talk to each other (they don't hold a conversation but they do talk to each other) about something other than a man. It passes even if by technicality!
