Another year, another production run. I'd like to thank the Gopher for helping me keep this thing going for eight years. Even if some of those years were pretty sparse, I like to think it's an accomplishment. Certainly my drawing and framing has gotten better. After eight years, I'm close enough to start wondering what Alas is going to look like when she hits ten. Can I plan out two years' worth of storyline? Eh, better work on January, first.

Happy St. Nicholas Day! Time for all the gud Kinder to look in their romper-stompers before lacing them up. Myself, I'm walking to work slowly on account of the half-inch of ice coating DC. Really, it's quite lovely.

Snow! Snow on the ground in DC! Booyah! Okay, it's less than an inch. But still! The way is now open for the backgrounds in the strip to go straight to white-out.

Went and saw Beowulf, and found it better than I expected. I've been reading that particular piece since I was a kid, so I felt rather obliged to give the film a chance. I still envision Grendel rather differently than the film did, but they did about as good a job livening up the story as they could without taking too many liberties.

I now have the phrase "Friend of Dumbledore" stuck in my head. The difference between having a phrase and having a song stuck in my head is that at least with a song, I can find another song to dislodge it. What do I do for a phrase? Read lines from The Importance of Being Earnest?

I never really cared about baseball until this year, when I caught half a dozen Nationals home games. Now I'm watching the Red Sox-Indians game and cheering every time Cleveland scores. What the hell?

Pumpkin shopping time is close at hand. A series of normal sized ones, or one of those flat-on-one-side giants?

After a week of guests and house cleaning, I've caught up on strips for October. I've back-dated all the way to October 1st, so you may want to check the morgue. Technically, I've always thought of Alas as a swords girl, but wands is a special suit for me, so I thought I'd see how it looks on her.

Classes were busier this week, and the weekend will afford me little chance to catch up. I'm hoping to see the next strip out by Monday night.

Alas is pleased to know that suspender stockings will continue to be available in our post-apocalyptic zombie-filled deserts.
