This comic has a bit of history. When it originally ran in 2010, the punchline was that the final secret ingredient was “1,300 tablespoons of rum!” But I had a request from The Dayton City Paper—which runs Last Kiss every week—for a comic to go with it’s cover story about marijuana.
So, I dug out this comic off and made a minor change. Hence my humor this time is even “dopier” than usual.
Art by the Vince Colletta Studio from the story “Girl Meets Boy” in FIRST KISS #11, 1959.

I’m excited to feature the first of what I hope will be many more collaborations with Kirsten Wilson. Besides being an extremely talented artist, Kirsten is also a valued member of my extended family. (She’s my daughter Caitie Lustig’s sister-in-law.)
I think she did a terrific job re-creating and coloring this classic Matt Baker art. I hope you agree!
Art by Matt Baker from the story “The…She-Wolf Killer” in WEIRD ADVENTURES #1, 1951.
