Over on https://www.gocomics.com/lastkiss where I post all these comics, a reader asked me about the original comic story. Here’s my quick synopsis:
He’s her high school crush. But I gather they never dated. She goes to college to learn typing. (No, that doesn’t make any sense to me either.) And she does it so she can become his secretary.
He finally falls for her. And then she quits her job because she figures he’ll want to keep seeing her out of the office. And, sure enough, he then comes to her parent’s home–where she still lives–and proposes to her.
(Hey, I didn’t write this story. So don’t blame me if it’s crazy.)
That’s Typing University erasure, and I won’t stand for it!!!
Good day to you, SIR.
I said GOOD DAY!!
