Today’s comic features a gag by my friend Jennifer M. Contino. For many years, Jen was a comics journalist (Entertainment Weekly, Wizard, Sequential Tart and others.)
These days, she’s the self-pronounced “Queen of Christmas comics.” (Even Santa doesn’t have a Christmas comic book collection as big as hers!)
Tomorrow, we’ll have another Felina Vie Christmas comic written by me. And the following day (Saturday), Jen will be back with a new Christmas-themed Last Kiss gag.
Original Vintage Art & Text
Inked by Dick Giordano. From the story “My Foolish Heart” in First Kiss #21, July 1961. Charlton. The story begins on Page 26.

His comment here is actually much worse in the actual story. The young lady’s dad has just died. So, yeah. Smiling really makes a lot of sense.
Him: Give me a big smile. Come on now.
Her: Nah. I gotta go fk shit up.

First thought to my fiancé was “Don’t you just want to punch someone who says that “.
“Yes, could you please stop having feelings now, they’re making me uncomfortable?”
