Cigarro & Cerveja, the weekly comic strip about a cigarette-smoking rabbit and a beer-drinking goose, has turned 9 today. And to mark the anniversary it will go through a daily experiment (at least for a while).

How long can the weekly comic survive the daily grind? Turn in and find out.

Cigarro & Cerveja, the weekly webcomic of a cigarette-smoking rabbit and a beer-drinking goose, has revamped its website with ComicPress. Embracing the flexibilty and automated features, the webcomic is moving toward the Web 2.0 model.

I’m posting my San Diego shipping story so that anybody who can learn from my experience will be able to. I apologize for the length of the post but I figure that more can be gleaned from a larger post.

Back in 2002, I read about a fellow Canadian cartoonist’s experience bringing inventory down to the United States for a convention and how a certain bureaucratic process prevented him from taking his books on the flight… which resulted in missing the flight and missing out on the convention altogether.

Trying to learn from Stephen’s experience when I printed Cigarro & Cerveja: Round 1 and was heading for the San Diego Comic-Con in 2003, I avoided carrying the books with me for the flight and shipped a box of books with a parcel service instead. I did some research and found that I was able to have the parcel delivered to a Customer Center in San Diego where it would be held for pick-up. All the declaration papers would be filled out before shipping it and there would be very little chance that it would influence my flight. Everything went smoothly.
