My sister (Lisa Hernandez) has been a major help with my Last Kiss business. She has more business acumen—and more commonsense—than silly, impractical me. And she often helps me out at comic conventions.
But it never occurred to me that my sweet sis would want to write a Last Kiss comic. And it seemed even less likely that my cat-loving, zombie-hating sister would ever make a joke about a mangled feline. But…geez, what do I know?
Hey, Lisa. Got any vampire cat gags?

Happy Halloween, ghouls and boils!
Here’s the wrap up to the Halloween photo-comics. Starting Wednesday, we’re back to “old comics with new dialogue” three times a week.
However, I’d love to do more photo-comics occasionally. So, if you’ve enjoyed this last week (or hated it), please let me know.
