Don’t Look, Mom!

Don’t Look, Mom!

Okay. That was embarrassing, but at least your mom gave everything back…Hey, where’s “Dildo Dick” and my tube of strawberry lube?

Meanwhile, back in 1959…

On the right is the original First Kiss #4 art from 1958. If something looks a little off it’s because I gave the Last Kiss version a head transplant.

No, I didn’t dig up the head from a graveyard. I stole this beauty from elsewhere in the story.

It’s by the same artist and features the same character.  But, to me, it’s a better head.

Is this wrong? A perversion of art, science and Photoshop? Absolutely!

But what could I do?

It’s always hard to turn down good head.

The Plane Truth

The Plane Truth

Unlike this unhappy couple, I’m planning to have a great time on my trip. This Tuesday I’m flying to the Big Apple for the New York Comic Con. (I’ll be at table D14 in Artist’s Alley.)

The con runs Oct. 8-10, but I’m arriving in town early to visit with friends and attend the pre-show ICv2 conference. And, if there’s time, I might even catch up on some sleep before things start getting crazy!
