No question about it.
Mike Pascale’s Last Kiss Halloween comics are monstrously popular—-receiving thousands of “likes” and favorable comments on the Last Kiss Facebook page.
And I’ve been thrilled to present them each day—along with small versions of the original Last Kiss color art.
But if you want to get a great, up-close view of the art “before” and “after” Mike has monsterized it, then check out his post on Wednesday’s Heroes.
There are no word balloons to distract you and the art is presented big, bold and beautiful…in its horrible, monster way!

Doris is crazy about her man.
And maybe she’s a little crazy about other things too.
Things that romance comics—even in the swinging 1960s—didn’t talk about.

I love this.
The idea of not dating women as a revenue source is perfect for me. Pay me and I promise not to date you.*
For a little more, family are rates available. (I promise not to date your daughter, mother and—-granny? I promise not to date her for free.)
Guys, I don’t want you to feel left out. I wasn’t planning to date any of you. But why take chances. Send me some money to be safe.
*This offer is void if you happen to be my wife.
