March 2nd, 2005 -- Violator? I hardly know 'er!
The fictional Yabanji Bar is located just off the factual Istiklal Caddesi, which is the big night spot/hang out in Istanbul. Lots of cheap restaurants, expensive bars, and upscale shopping. It's also the place you're most likely to get your wallet or purse stolen, so heads up.
I understand it's snowing back in the States-- well, we got rain here. Rain in spades. Fortunately, the Bosphorous doesn't flood; well, not since the Biblical one, anyway. Some people fail to realize that the mighty Bosphorous is not a river, it's a strait, separating Thrace from Asia Minor. You'd be surprised how many elected members of Congress make that mistake when they come here on carpet-buying missions.

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.
