If today’s episode seems different than most Last Kiss comics it’s because this one originally appeared in Comics Buyer’s Guide way back in the 1990s. And most of my gags back then were aimed at the comic fans and pros who made up the bulk of CBG‘s readership.
I’ve added a bit of color for the new version. And I also modified the gag quite a bit. (No outdated Batman movie references now. Instead the gag mentions Underoos and Black Lightning.)
If my current readers enjoy this, I might resurrect some of my other Last Kiss comics that appeared in CBG!

Many thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy 70th Birthday earlier this week. All that love was wonderful and made me feel young–no more than 69!
