High time in Bristol



Just back from the Bristol Expo weekend during which I met a lot of good quality people, most of whom knew about Smuggling Vacation and are anticipating its printed arrival.

Great to meet three of the four artists who've provided quotes for the book, as well as the legendary Gilbert Shelton of the 'Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers' fame, who in all fairness hadn't a clue who I was or what Smuggling Vacation was. He took a card though and said he'll give it a look.

Aaaah! Good birthday present received today from Jennifer Contino at The Pulse who's ran a Smuggling Vacation interview at http://www.comicon.com/pulse/ . Includes a great intro and I'm sure will introduce our strip to a new band of readers.

On the site 'T' has completed our comic schedule without I think giving too much away. I'll be working with him these next few days just prepping for print whilst at the same time trying to speed up the last few quotes to come in.

Our characters, having arrived in Dover now face British Customs and Excise; the most humourless people you could ever wish to meet. It's going to be interesting.

More news next week.
