Happy Easter!

I actually created today’s Last Kiss comic back in 2021. But I already had enough Easter gags. So I decided to save it and run it this year. This, of course, was long before the recent news that Die Hard star Bruce Willis has aphasia and was retiring.
I only mention this because the timing is a little awkward and I love Willis. Going all the way back to his Moonlighting days, he’s been a fun, larger-than-screen actor. And I sincerely wish him well. I hope, in this lastest chapter in his life, he can still enjoy many moments of joy and love.

Art by Sam Glansman from Kona #1, 1962.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Human skeletons and giant eggs are at the bottom of a rocky cliff. A man is falling from the cliff and on the ledge of the cliff we can see the silhouette of a giant rabbit.
CAPTION: After Easter, have you ever wondered...where the Easter Bunny goes? Some say he has a hidden lair filled with giant, magical eggs that grant wishes! Impossible? Perhaps. But this much we know. Many have searched for the Bunny’s Lair. But none have ever returned--alive!
