Happy Labor Day!
Sure, Last Kiss traffics in weird humor. But even I was surprised when Mike Pascale suggested the gag for today’s comic. Linking the Labors of Hercules with the labors of childbirth—for Labor Day? It seemed unlikely. Even impossible. But Mike pulled it off beautifully. Thanks, Mike!
