Today’s Last Kiss: Ladies, he’s easily distracted. (“Squirrel!”)
He tries to look you in the eyes. (“Squirrel!)
And have a meaningful conversation. (“Squirrel!”)
But all of a sudden… (“Breasts!”)
Original Art:
To the right is the original art (plus a couple of panels) from Charlton’s Teen-Age Hotrodders #13 (1965).
It’s a hot-headed hotrodder versus a gang of rude, motor-mouthed motorcyclists. Given the title of the comic, who do you think will win?
