Speaking of old friends, my pal Ed Smith gave me an incredible birthday present today (Jan. 25.) For the last few centuries–I exaggerate only slightly–he’s been working on a Last Kiss animated cartoon.
But no more. Today, the cartoon is officially finished.
It’s just a few minutes of fun with Flash-style animation, but–holy exclamation marks, I’m excited about this!!!
Ed came up with some great gags and visuals that really moved my story along. And actress/pal Sharon Parker’s reading of the line “Oh, I like it!” may be the sexist thing I’ve heard since my wife said “I do.”
It’ll be at least a week (probably two) before I post the animation on the web. (Hey, I’ve got press releases to write and bloggers to blackmail first.)
But I promise to have the cartoon up and running in time for the traditional Last Kiss national holiday–St. Valentine’s Day!

WOMAN: I don’t sleep with strangers!
WOMAN (again): But I’m sure we’ll be old friends…by the end of the flight!

Unlike this unhappy couple, I’m planning to have a great time on my trip. This Tuesday I’m flying to the Big Apple for the New York Comic Con. (I’ll be at table D14 in Artist’s Alley.)
The con runs Oct. 8-10, but I’m arriving in town early to visit with friends and attend the pre-show ICv2 conference. And, if there’s time, I might even catch up on some sleep before things start getting crazy!

VOICE (from plane): I don’t care how many bonus miles this cost you! The honeymoon is off!
