Did I ever relate the story of how I was approached by the people who were in charge of Howard Marks' publicity, asking if they could develop the "Spliffy the Clown" strip as a recurring feature on his nascent website (Mr Nice had just been published in paperback and was doing well)?

That a bunch of hash heads couldn't see that the strip was, albeit in a pretty asinine way, criticising hash heads and their dated, dopey counter-culture, and were giddy at the very mention of spliffs, regardless of context, in exactly the same way as the 'zinesters the I was mocking, gave me an irony-induced nose bleed.
Oy.
