Most of the oddball stories in Dirty Plotte were autobiographical, often about the struggles of being a woman and being an alternative cartoonist. Author Anne Elizabeth Moore summed up the comic this way:
These were the things that Dirty Plotte was about: the isolation of being a driven female creative; the jealousy in personal relationships that come out of that; the ever-present push from the outside to be maternal and nurturing, but the absolute interior knowledge that that is not your way; and the incredibly shifting sense of gender that a strong, smart woman must feel in order to move about in the world.[2]
Dirty Plotte began as a self-published photocopied zine used to record Doucet's "day to day life, her dreams, angsts, [and] fantasies."[3] Doucet published 12 issues of the Dirty Plotteminicomic between 1988 and 1989.[4]
It was only when Doucet was published in Robert Crumb's magazine, Weirdo,[5] that she began to attract critical attention.[6]Drawn & Quarterly (like Doucet, based in Montreal) began publishing Doucet in January 1991 in a regular sized comic series also named Dirty Plotte.[7]Dirty Plotte was the first ongoing solo title published by Drawn & Quarterly.[8]
Drawn & Quarterly published 4 issues of Dirty Plotte in 1991 (with much of the content being reprints of material that had appeared in the mini), but afterwards new issues were published once per year. Doucet played with the title of the series near the end, with individual issues called such things as Purty Plotte and Purity Plotte.[7]
Many of the autobiographical stories from Dirty Plotte were collected in the trade paperback My New York Diary (Drawn & Quarterly, 1999), which won the 2000 Firecracker Award for best graphic novel.[9]
