Mr. Last Kiss solves your problems the old-fashioned way. He guesses!
↓ TranscriptDear Mr. Last Kiss:
Disoriented from an overdose of
double-rum raisin cake and triple-tequila smoothies, I recently
wandered into a comic shop and
accidentally read a few hundred comics.
Of course, I didn’t buy any! But, ever since, I’ve had a craving for more!
I feel guilty, though. Shouldn’t I be
watching TV instead? Aren’t comics just literary junk food?
--Frantic in Frisco
Dear Frantic:
Not at all! Eaten in sensible
quantities, comics can be a rich source of mindless violence and absurd fantasies! Of course, if you actually believe anything in comics (especially what you’re reading right now) you’re probably doomed.
--Mr. Last Kiss
MAN: Everything I know, I learned from comic books!

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don’t follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy

Is clone love right for you? Take this simple test (twice) and find out:
–If you marry a clone of yourself and you end up getting a divorce, who gets custody of your ego?
–If you fall out of love with yourself, who’s fault is it?
–If you sue yourself, who wins–besides your lawyers?
If you answered any of these questions then you have too much free time and are probably gullible enough to fall for this scheme. So order your clone today! Just send me a DNA sample and a blank check! Then allow six to eight weeks for instant satisfaction!
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A man is on a theater stage facing an adoring crowd of applauding people. He has his arms upraised and is obviously enjoying the applause.
MAN (thinking): I’m so cool! I’d marry myself...if it weren’t for those darn cloning laws!

CAPTION: I was born in Comicstown! But I craved real literature! I yearned for Tolstoyville! Hemingway Hills! Or even Dr. Seuss City! Friends begged me to stay! They offered me Slam Bang and Last Kiss! But nothing tempted me...’til that fateful day at the Cape 'n Cowl Cafe...
WAITER: You don't read comics? Well...I'll fix that! I'll give you a free doughnut for every comic you read!
WOMAN: Give me a stack of X-Men, you fiend! And keep 'em coming!
