Color Version:

I experimented with colorizing the black & white original of this photo, but I wasn’t completely happy with it. The original B&W version (with an added tint) gave the image more of an old-time, vintage look–that seemed to work better with the innocent nature of the woman’s question.

(Plus I thought a photo with flesh-colored side boobage might be a little too daring for my GoComics.com/lastkiss site.)

So I went with the b&w version.. But here’s the colorized image just to show how it would’ve looked.
