Artist unknown. (I believe the story originally appeared in Bride’s Secrets #3, 1954. But full disclosure—I can’t find my copy to double check.)
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A woman is dressing--putting on a stocking--as a cat sits nearby and licks it's paw.
CAT (thinking): I thought dogs were colorblind, not humans. Purrrrrrple stockings, brown camisole, black skirt? How cat-a-strophicly gauche.

My thanks to my pal Jennifer M. Contino for the gag. And–although I messed up and didn’t get it into the credits elsewhere–obviously Diego drew a new cat for the Last Kiss version of the panel. Thanks, Diego.

Today’s Last Kiss is a bit of an outlier because it has no beautiful women. (Or men.) And no sexual innuendos.
True, our star character has bedroom eyes. But…so what? He’s a cat!
What makes this one special to me is that he’s our next-door neighbors’ cat, Rigby. And he usually comes over at least once a day to visit us. Sometimes for two minutes. Sometimes for two hours. We are helpless people putty in his adorable paws,
And now he’s convinced me to make him a webcomic star. Honestly, this cat has no shame!
–John Lustig, Rigby’s pawn.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Rigby the cat is barely awake as he lies on a human bed.
RIGBY: I’m so excited to see you! I almost can’t sleep!
