My sister Lisa (left) and my mom (right) were travel agents together. Here they are a lifetime ago during a trip to Peru.
My mom (Nina Lustig) always had a plan. She was determined to do things her own way. And in her own time.
For instance, she went in for a mastectomy even though it seemed hopeless. Her doctors told her she had only three months to live. They were only off by…29 years.
On the morning of Jan. 13, 2012 (Friday the 13th) she finally lost her battle with the Big C. But she didn’t give up without a world-class, kick-death-in-the-teeth fight.
She was an incredibly tough and private woman. (And I wouldn’t even dare tell you that much if she was still with us.)

Although I spend most of my time doing Last Kiss, I still write an occasional Disney comic. The latest is something special. The first seven pages of “The Duck Who Came to Dinner” was scripted decades ago by the late and very great Carl Barks.
I purchased the unpublished manuscript several years ago during an eBay auction that was held on behalf of the Barks Estate. My publisher Egmont (Disney’s main comics licensee for northern Europe) gave me the go-ahead to write the remaining three pages of the 10-page Uncle Scrooge story.

We’re celebrating Zombie Week here at Last Kiss, so I couldn’t resist posting this pic from ZomBcon 2011. I bopped into the show briefly last weekend to see what a convention full of zombies was like.
And the answer?
Well, it’s a lot like a political convention–except with more Braaains! And way cooler outfits.
I stopped to chat with www.geekchicdaily.com/ Editor-in-Chief Brian Walton (see photo above) and decided to take his picture. Two zombie gals immediately volunteered to make the photo more…uh, interesting.
Yeah, it was that sort of convention!
