January 6th, 2003 -- Belki alisman lazim
I used to be a Manic Panic and Punky Colors junky before genetics forced me to give them up. I so wish I could make more direct mention of them in the strip, but have avoided it so there's no mistaking free advertising for copyright infringement. In the meantime, Alas proudly uses I-Liner and SPR-80s brand products for that special spooky look.
Belki alisman lazim is Turkish for "Maybe you should just get used to it." It's also the title of Turkish rock group Duman's second album. Duman is a big part of my music listening here in Istanbul, and I sincerely hope they get exported someday.

Happy Halloween, gneeches! I know it's been a slow year, but I couldn't let this day go by without a strip. I'm more optimistic about next year... more specifically, next semester, when I'll only have one evening class. In the meantime, I gotta go be the stranger who hands out candy.

Alas will be back for the month of October. How can I let a Halloween go by without her?

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?
