I actually created today’s Last Kiss comic back in 2021. But I already had enough Easter gags. So I decided to save it and run it this year. This, of course, was long before the recent news that Die Hard star Bruce Willis has aphasia and was retiring.
I only mention this because the timing is a little awkward and I love Willis. Going all the way back to his Moonlighting days, he’s been a fun, larger-than-screen actor. And I sincerely wish him well. I hope, in this lastest chapter in his life, he can still enjoy many moments of joy and love.

(Some more than five years old!) So there’s nothing we love more…than cashing in big time by remaking them!
After all, even a perfect film can be improved by adding car chases, gross out humor, modern special effects and sarcastic, talking animals!
Thus, just in time for Easter, we bring you the new, improved…
DYE HARD: Color Me Eggcited
This film has been rated “G” (for Gross) by children of all ages.
RABBIT/BUNNY: Yippee-ki-yay, mother plucker!

Yes, taken out of context, the original 1960s romance art and dialog (below) may seem really suggestive. But that’s just because you have a dirty mind.
Shame on you!
