Keywords: High technology. No nature. Artifical reality.
Synopsis: A guy and a girl decide to spend free day in a nature. They relax totally and refuse brain pills. Hangover is not what they expect.
Comment: Corben's own story and B&W artwork are both brilliant. There is a lot pleasant nudity, specially on page four, where it touches with a warm relationship between guy and girl (frames without dialogue). One of my favourites!
Alternatives, : Censored in Spanish Comix Underground USA #2 (1974). Additional bra and panties, and sex scene on a bed redrawn (a boy behind, not on a girl).
Alternatives, : In French Actuel [II] #10/11 (197?) shortened as 6 pages story (!), and printed in blue and white (instead of B&W).
