Oh stop it, Larry. You’re just jealous because Johnny has more…well, uh…talent than you. At least two inches more of firm, throbbing talent.

And his talent is…to make girls happy!

We’re the Best—Especially Me

I like your silences—mostly because I know you’re thinking about me and how wonderful I am.

Obviously, I’m too wonderful for mere words!

In case you’re wondering, my silences are just like yours. I’m thinking about how wonderful I am too!

All Brides Cry

Later on, though—if I’m crying—you should probably worry. For instance, worry if I’m…

—Crying before sex.

—Crying during sex.

—Crying after sex.

—Crying if we’re not having sex at all. (Hmm. I guess you’ll be the one crying then. So that doesn’t count. It’s probably not important.)

I Never Gossip

Art by Vince Colletta Studio from “The Terrible Stranger” in BRIDES IN LOVE #10, 1958.

Gossip is a terrible thing.

I know because that’s what my best friend, Louise Friskybiscuit, said when I discovered she was cheating on her boyfriend.

Louise—or “Miss Sluttypants as I call her on Twitter— said to keep my trap shut. And I have.

Honest, I’ll never tell anyone…except you. And maybe her husband.

“Instead of lectures, your dad gives me cold beers. And hot, roasted beer nuts.

“We watch football, have fart contests and tell dirty jokes.

“Frankly, your dad is a better date than you!”

Steve, please remember: It’s not your fault that I don’t love you anymore. Or even that I can’t stand you.

—Or that your voice irritates me.

—Or that I believe your parents are evil, disgusting, filthy monsters who need to be deported…back to Hell.

—Or that I hate all your friends—except maybe Willy. He’s kinda cute. (Do you have his number?)

—Or that…hmm. On second thought, it’s definitely your fault.

I Love You Like the Sexy Daughter I Never Had…

This isn’t going to change anything, right? You’ll still go with me to my school’s Father Figure-Disappointed Daughter Substitute Dance?

I mean—come on! I already bought the dress. And all the other Father Figures I could be dating are already going—or have been arrested on indecency charges.

Honestly, it’ll be a real crime if I don’t get to go.

Last Kiss Prize Goes to Japan

This autographed Last Kiss print was part of a GoComics prize packet won by Curtis.

This autographed Last Kiss print was part of a GoComics prize packet won by Curtis.

I don’t receive a lot of fan mail from Japan, but when I do it’s always very enthusiastic and extra nice. The latest came from “Curtis” who won an autographed Last Kiss print in a contest sponsored by my online publisher GoComics. You can read about it on Curtis’s Three Steps Over Japan blog (which also features lots of manga reviews).

By the way, Curtis describes the GoComics version of Last Kiss like this: “There’s a lot of innuendo, but nothing outright dirty (that’s supplied by the commenters on GoComics.)

I’ve got to agree with Curtis about that. Last Kiss fan comments on GoComics are often vigorous, numerous and much dirtier than my comics. They’re also far from politically correct. If that sort of thing appeals to you then check it out.

 

She Comes Every Six Months

Art by Dick Giordano from First Kiss #31, 1963.

Art by Dick Giordano from First Kiss #31, 1963.

I admit my date with my dentist didn’t start out well.

I mean, I had to make an appointment. And the receptionist Carol asked me for my insurance—almost like I was really there to get my wisdom teeth pulled!

But then Carol took me to a small room. It was decorated to look like a dental office. But I knew it was really a private dining room. I sat in a big, deluxe chair—comfy enough for wild, dental sex!

Then Carol handed me a big bib and, of course, I squealed like a teenage girl on her first date. (Which—by the way—I was.)

“Oh, my! Is this a lobster bib?” I asked. “I’ve never had lobster before. I’m a lobster virgin!”

Carol just shook her head and walked away. She never came back. She didn’t even take my drink order. (No tip for that bitch!)

I was pretty steamed, but then—a mere 45 minutes later—Dr. Dreamboat showed up for our date. So I couldn’t stay angry.

And, guess what? He gave me drugs. What a great way to start a date!

I don’t actually remember anything after that. But—after I woke up and stopped throwing up—I was super sore! So I knew I must’ve had a good time.

And that’s when I knew…I was in love!
