Worst Blind Date Ever?
Although Emily tried to stay positive, she was beginning to think that this date wasn’t going to end with a kiss.

John Lustig on All-Ages Comic Panel at Emerald City Comicon
I’ve been added as a speaker on one of the panels at the March 1-3 Emerald City Comiccon.
The Saturday (March 2) panel is at 5 p.m. and the official title is “Working with Licensed Comics for All Ages.” I’ll be talking about my experiences writing Disney comics and even Eek! The Cat.
Other creators on the panel will be Georgia Ball, Amy Mebberson, James Silvani, and Allen Gladfelter.
Most of the rest of the convention, I’ll be at the Last Kiss Booth (#2202.). Come by, say “hi” and get a free Last Kiss tattoo!
Other Fun Gags in Couple-Up Contest
Although Ed Bertoli took top honors in this first Last Kiss Couple-Up contest, there were hundreds of other submissions and many of them were hilarious.
In fact, I ended up naming not one, but five runners-up:
Him: Kiss me, my darling.
Her: Braiiiins!
—Charles Kramer
Roger: I’ve just realized how much you look like MOM!!!!!!
Wife: Who wants a spanking ?!
—Helen Stockfleth
Oh no! I just realized – I’M ALLERGIC TO METAL!!!!!
—Gary Dunaier
ROGER: You would be perfect had I included a heat source. Unfortunately, you’re cold.
ROBOT: Then I am the perfect duplicate of your wife.
—Keiko Alvarez
Roger: You just keep going and going… I’m exhausted.
—Jacqueline Hallenbeck
Other Fun Submissions
And there were lots of other great gags that came very close to cinching one of the top spots. Here are some, but certainly not all:
Roger: You’ve e-wired into my bank account, my PayPal account, my credit cards! And you’ve spent it all on online shopping!
Robot: Resistance is futile… especially when it comes to shoes.
—Janet Heatherington
Wonder Woman: A Slave to Her Desires?
Although her image is fairly tame today, in the early 1940s Wonder Woman was the Amazon Princess of kinky. Bondage was a major theme in the series. Seriously!
Last Kissin’ at Emerald City Comicon
I’ve cut way back on convention appearances, but I wouldn’t think of skipping the March 1-3 Emerald City Comicon.
Even if this it wasn’t taking place here in Seattle, I’d hate to miss this. For sheer energy and fun per square foot, it’s my favorite convention every year.
I’ll be at the Last Kiss Booth (#2202) during most of the show. Come by, say “hi” and get a free Last Kiss tattoo!
