Submissions from Fans:

Cruelly mocked by the Homecoming King ten years ago with such nicknames as “Pepperoni Puss” (acne), “Nebraska” (flat and plain), and “Frez Nell” (thick glasses), Eustace Tittlesworth would have her revenge at the reunion picnic, as soon as the effects of his arsenic-laced cocktail took effect.  — Torsten Adair

Billy Bob: Well, hell’s bells Norma Jean, this is my very last day ever as a tree hugger! From now on you can consider me a bona fide, genuine devoted Lap Lounger, for sure! This is darned comfortable. Norma Jean: (thinking) Why God? Why me? I only went braless the one time, and this is how you punish me?  —  Michael Clark

He wasn’t sure if he was suffering from heat stroke or if he was just dizzy in love, but he knew one thing… the only thing that could provide him relief was the shade from her gigantic rack.  — Stan Yan
…Not realizing that he had just been thrown off the branch by an irate chipmunk.  —  Chris Martin

Her thought balloon: Screw visiting Granny, this dude is hot.  —  Karyl Miller

Prizes: The winner’s name and dialog will appear on the comic when it’s posted (Feb. 15) on GoComics.com, LastKissComics.com, WorldFamousComics.com and other sites featuring Last Kiss. The winner will also receive 24 Last Kiss note/greeting cards, plus a high-quality, color print of the winning comic–autographed by both Card and Lustig. Two runner ups will each receive a dozen Last Kiss cards plus bragging rights to being “that close!”

Last Kiss contest! Vote for best fan gags!

Late last year I started inviting readers to submit funny dialog for some of my art. It wasn’t supposed to be a contest, but then I started thinking–why not? So I narrowed the submissions down to a handful of fun reader-written gags. And you get to pick the best one!

Vote quickly. The poll closes: Wednesday at 9 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. The winner gets a dozen Last Kiss note/greeting cards. Second- & third-place winners get half a dozen cards.

More “mini-contests” to come over the next few days!

Write a Last Kiss Comic: 01/11/2010

What’s going on in this comic? It’s up to you! Suggest some dialog!

Rules: No prizes. No winners. No losers. And no deadline. This is just for the sheer silliness of it all.

For legal reasons, I have to tell you that all submissions become the property of Last Kiss Inc. That’s pretty standard for contests–except, of course, this isn’t a contest.

Please keep it reasonably clean (PG-13 or so.) But mostly have fun!
