On May 10, 2008, Bechdel announced that she was putting the strip on indefinite hiatus in order to complete her graphic novel memoir Love Life, which was eventually published in 2012 as Are You My Mother?.

On November 23, 2016, Alison Bechdel published “Pièce de Résistance,” the first Dykes to Watch Out For installment published since the strip went on extended hiatus in 2008. In the strip, the same characters are shown addressing the 8 year gap and responding to the election of Donald Trump. “Pièce de Résistance” was published in Seven Days Vermont and on Bechdel’s website. The amount of traffic to the new strip caused Bechdel’s website to crash. Bechdel also drew the cover for the November 23-30, 2016 issue of Seven Days, featuring the Dykes to Watch Out For characters having Thanksgiving dinner. In the strip, the characters reflect on Donald Trump’s presidency and write postcards to the White House for the Ides of Trump campaign. The Seven Days post states that Bechdel “now draws single strips when inspiration strikes”.
