In comic books, sometimes people just kiss.

But more often they think and kiss at the same time. They think about whether they’re kissing the right person. They think about whether they can pay the rent; pass their math test; or even conquer the universe.

Now maybe you do all those things when you kiss, but I don’t. Not if it’s a really good kiss.

I wish I’d written this before the last election. Oh, well. It’s not like it’s an issue that’s going away anytime soon–unfortunately.

Oh, wait! In this context, I suppose the word “unfortunately” can be taken two ways.

And if I don’t explain you’ll have to think about it and fill in the blanks yourself. How…unfortunate!

No, wearing a scarf doesn’t mean you’re gay. It means you…uh, want to be a cowboy. That’s it. I mean–John Wayne wore scarves…or at least bandanas. Manly bandanas! Spit-in-your-eye, tough-guy bandanas!

So there you go! If you’re not wearing a bandana chances are…you’re gay!

Yes! It’s okay to feel fabulous–even if you’re straight!

(I wrote and scheduled this comic weeks ago. I didn’t know it’d come out right after California’s Proposition 8 was overturned. Darn, I’m good!)

Obviously, these guys are living in a state of denial. Possibly California.

Are you unfazed by rejection and occasional gunfire? Do you collect restraining orders as a hobby? Are you saving your virginity until your true love admits that you exist?

Then you may be afflicted with the dreaded “Pepe Le Pew Syndrome!”

If so, please take a strong dose of reality and look out for skunks.

I’m hoping for tails–for both their sakes!
