Ladies, this is why you should always carry a wedding ring AND a marriage certificate—whether you’re married or not. You might have to prove that your fake marriage is real.
Remember. The marriage police are out there…looking for you.

Look out! Robots are stealing our women and forcing them to tighten their nuts and bolts!

Today’s Last Kiss is the first of seven photo comics that I’ll be showcasing over the next few weeks. (Wednesdays and some Sundays.)
All feature the lovely and incredibly industrious Brieanna Brock—cosplay model extraordinaire, actress, fashion designer, emcee, writer and—for all I know—future president of the world.
My one and only meeting with Brie came a couple of years ago at a San Diego comic con when we were both doing appearances at the World’s Famous Comics booth.
I was there signing comics and Brie was there modeling—the living embodiment of a painting by WFC’s owner/artist Justin Chung.
Now, Brie does a lot of cosplay at conventions and comic stores. I mean—a lot. So she has ton of photos of herself posing as different super heroines and pop culture characters.
And it suddenly hit me—if I added dialog to those photos, it’d be just like what I do with old comic art.
So I asked myself, wouldn’t that be fun? And I answered myself—you betcha!
When I posted this on my Facebook page, it elicited some lively comments. The one that made me laugh hardest was this suggested dialog from Jim Guida:
CAPTION: (Girl in background) “Well, at least I still have my yacht.”
Thanks, Jim!

I dare you NOT to think of something dirty when you look at this 1953 comic cover.
No, I can’t do it either.
One of these heartthrobs became the President of the United States.
Alas, it wasn’t June Allyson…

I have the same problem. Nuns dig me…
