Dostlar Arasinda!

by Sandra Bell-Lundy

Dostlar Arasinda means “Between Friends” in Turkish.  (Dostlar = Friends and Arasinda = Between)

Below is a photocopy of a very early (about 1994-95) Between Friends strip that appeared in a Turkish newspaper.  My sales rep sent me the original  but unfortunately, it was lost in a house move.  The good thing is I made photocopies of it.  I have no idea why I did this but I’m glad I did.  (Between Friends no longer appears in Turkey)

I have no idea what the strip says…my memory isn’t that good. I think it was something to do with how ineffective no-smoking sections are in restaurants. But… I still get a kick out of seeing the word balloons written in the Turkish language.  Translations for strips are done by the foreign newspaper.

Poor Maeve and Susan…yikes…check out those hair styles!
