After I posted yesterday’s gag about a strip club with parody lyrics (“There’s No Business Like Bare-ly Show Business”), I received an e-mail from my pal cartoonist Kevin Boze who came up with some great lyrics of his own. With his permission, here they are:
MEN’S CHORUS:
The bouncers, the colored lights, the panties, the tops
The audience that stares at you and sighs
WOMEN’S CHORUS:
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops (NOTE: This was just too good a line to change)
The feeling when you make their winkies rise
MEN’S CHORUS:
Excitement when the tipping comes apace
WOMEN’S CHORUS:
The downer when your stripper shoes unlace
ALLS:
There’s no business like ho business
Like no business I know
MEN’S CHORUS:
Every man looks on that stage adoring
WOMEN’S CHORUS:
Sweating but you’re trying to stay cool
MEN’S CHORUS:
No where could you dance and keep on whoring
ALL:
While you’re ignoring that four-foot rule
They’re hip people, those strip people
They’re swinging on the pole
MEN’S CHORUS:
Yesterday you barely could fill out some B’s
WOMEN’S CHORUS:
That night you really wanted to tease
MEN’S CHORUS:
Next day you are showing off your double-D’s
ALL:
Let’s go on with the show
Let’s go on with the show

Last Kiss is back in the newspaper business. As of today, Last Kiss will be appearing in every issue of the Dayton City Paper. Yes, I’m excited! Today Dayton, tomorrow the universe…or at least maybe Akron, OH.
See the entire first issue that features Last Kiss.

In February, Boom! Studios is publishing a totally new version of a Carl Barks’ plotted story. The story has a new title “Somewhere BEYOND Nowhere”; a new script (by me); and art by the great Daan Jippes. It’s 12 pages long.
Why did I want to do a new version–especially since I scripted the original 2000 version? Well, that’s a bit of a story in itself…

In going through material for Last Kiss, I’ve read some odd romance comics. But “Isabell’s Inventions” from Charlton’s Teen-Age Confidential Confessions #10 is more than just a bit wackier than most!

I’m heading to Oregon for the Portland Comic Book Show, Nov. 21. The Sunday show is my last convention of the year. The Portland con is always one of my favorites. It’s a nice crowd and con organizer Richard Finn always treats his guests like visiting royalty.
The next day I’m meeting with the marketing staff of Dark Horse Comics (just outside Portland) to discuss some crazy ideas I have for my new Dark Horse products.
I want to run a much bigger (and sillier) version of the Last Kiss contest that I ran on Facebook earlier this week. If Dark Horse likes it, the plan ought to go something like this…
People will post photos of themselves with one or more of my Last Kiss goodies from Dark Horse. Prizes for the first photos posted; the silliest photos; the most romantic photos; etc.
Of course, to win you’ll need to have a Last Kiss mug, sticky note book or metal case. So ordering one now wouldn’t be a bad idea.
