On my way out to the Eagle Bar Diner last night, I was chuffed to see Hugh’s cartoons on the BBC 6 O’clock News as they did a big story on the Threshers deal. (Short version: Hugh and the guys at Stormhoek blogged a voucher for 40 per cent off all alcohol purchases from Threshers. Threshers didn’t promote it with ads - online or offline, not even in the stores - and the word spread so well via the blogosphere that the chain has been overwhelmed by demand.)

I talked to Hugh last night very briefly (I was on my way home in a cab, he was on his way home, we were both somewhat tipsy) and told him how pleased I was to see someone with so much sense getting such high profile attention. It gives one hope.

Also, his cartoons just rock.
