Happy Halloween and Samhain

[frameacloud]

Comic for Monday, October 30, 2006.


No, it's not about therianthropes or otherkin; this one is somewhat off-topic, although festive. Anyone who looked at the cartoon and is still wondering "who?" then refer to the Wikipedia article about Samhain. It's a Celtic holiday corresponding to Halloween and a modern version of it is celebrated by Wiccans and some Pagans. It's actually pronounced more like "sow-in" or "sa-vin," but the common joke is that newbie Wiccans/Pagans tend to pronounce it the way it's written.

Hee hee! I was playing a word assocation game with a club I'm in recently, and someone associated "Halloween" with "Sam Hain"... I twitched.

Also, celebration of Samhain is hardly limited to Wiccans--perhaps you could change that to "neo-pagans"?

You're correct. I'll change that.
