January 15th, 2001 -- Goth cover formula
Original Babbler for this date:
01.15.01 It is a year to the day since the first offical Alas strip went on-line. To honor the birthday gal, I'm making it
my New Year's resolution to keep updates timely and the art good. Still working on the clashingblack.com front-- nothing new to report
there, sorry. In other news, I've been listening to a lot of old Black Sabbath recently (thanks, Josh), so expect to see Alas mentioning some weird metal classics...
New Commentary: At the time I posted this strip, Alas was originally hosted on 3wa.org, the Gopher's domain, and I was trying to secure my own. I've since figured out that if I don't have strips drawn up before the holiday season, I certainly won't get any done during. I wonder whatever happened to Renfield's drum machine?

Within 24 hours, Bauhaus releases a new album (inspiring my inner black-hearted Goth), and Gary Gygax passes away (crushing my inner magic-user geek). What up with that, world?

I'm getting better-- the arrival of nearly 40 lbs. of temple oranges bodes for the return of full health. I'm genki enough that I'm trying out some really weird things this week-- expect amateur attempts at illustration stunts instead of plot. The blue pencil really has me trying things out.

Day 8 of this ruddy cold, and little sleep last night due to coughing. If a strip for Monday goes up, it's most likely to happen on Tuesday.
