While I’m getting over Covid I didn’t have enough oomph to do a new comic for Memorial Day. (Coming up with a meaningful image and text for the holiday is by far my toughest assignment every year. Frankly, I’m not up to it at the moment)
The best I could do is run this reprint gag which has a military theme–sort of.

After not even getting the sniffles during the first three and a half years of the pandemic, I’ve now got Covid–for the second time in eight months. Both times were on trips in crowded situations. (First on a cruise in September and last week during a vacation in Las Vegas.)
While I’m doing much, much better now, I’m behind on deadlines so I’m re-running some Last Kiss gags while I catch up. I expect to be back with new gags in about a week.
