Many cups of java and thanks to my pal Mike Pascale for “zombifying” this art.
(I can’t remember which of us came up with the gag. Often it’s a joint effort.)

So, I’m officially launching the Last Kiss Halloween and horror gags for this year! Most will be brand new. A few—because I’m having cataract surgery this week and again later in the month—will be re-runs. So let the giggles (and groaning) begin!
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A female vampire, Frankenstein's monster and a human skeleton are in a graveyard. A witch is flying on a broomstick in the sky.
VAMPIRE: Halloween used to be such good, clean fun! Murders! Blood baths! Mars bars! But now…Now we just terrorize Last Kiss readers with ghastly gags!
Frankenstein's Monster: If I wasn’t already dead, I’d die of shame!
SKELETON: Ugh! Lustig’s humor wears me down to the bone!
WITCH: Watta buncha cry babies! Don’t they know…life’s a witch!
