Here's a first.

This week Him & Her made a guest appearance at http://www.cy-boar.com/ where they met the acclaimed Cy-boar; product of the Graziani brothers(USA). Cy-boar is a long established giant on the webcomic scene and artist Lou Graziani has been following Smuggling Vacation almost from the beginning.

Following this , as well as being busy on the future pages I've also been producing comic roughs of 'Trebor', the chain smoking criminal gang member whose first love in life is the weed he so often helps smuggle. I'm also having thoughts of developing these further, though some drawings of 'Rolo' the food loving sidekick to Pastille Jones may appear first. I'll keep you posted.

Back to our story and have they passed through the border yet? Piece of Cake? You'll find out next Monday as all will be revealed.

Next Blog: Him and Her meet Howard Marks.

'till Monday next - keep reading.

Anyone whose smuggled anything through a border'll be getting jittery now as we watch our young duo approach the spanish-french border with their tonne of gear. Could now be the time to back out? Or is it the time to be 'chilled' and go through with the plan.



The 'Legalise Cannabis Alliance' have now linked to our site. The LCA spearheads the U.K. campaign to legalise the drug and in doing so put the Pastille Jones' of this world out of business. For debate on this and other drug issues go to http://www.lca-uk.org/

(External link button)

Also today I have drawn a rough for an external link button that can be taken and used by anyone, anywhere to link to our site in the future.

That's it for today. Regards to 'K' in the Netherlands who has recently been in touch. Next blog, Him and Her visit another webcomic site.

'till next weeks smuggling page.

So it killed me!

So it killed me! Just one page up on Monday so we'll see them approach the border a little slower than I otherwise wanted, but they're getting there.




'Hi' to Happy at the Howard Marks forum who recently posted up some threads up for SmugglingVacation on their forum and so took it to another section of the cannabis community. I've since grabbed Howard Marks' first and most famous book and am getting through it. Smith's read it three times before so obviously rates it as something worthwhile. Nooode'll certainly be adding http://www.howardmarks.com/ to our links later today.



Have just began working with 'T' on preparing pages for a print version of our story which'll take some time as it involves spotting, reframing, adding page numbers and so on.... but we'll get there.

And so to this Monday. Another page up and our story rumbles on towards the spanish-french border. If you want to send me any comments direct you can e-mail me at smugglingvacation@gmail.com .

'till Monday.
