Seriously, wear a mask. Pretend you’re a super villain. (Or a superhero!) A bank robber. The Scarlet Pimpernel. (Or even better, the Daffy Duck version—The Scarlet Pumpernickel!) Whatever.
But wear a d*mn mask!
Something new!
Today, I don’t have any original art to share. So I thought it’d be fun to share an alternative version of today’s comic.
It’s not unusual for me to go through several different gags (and sometimes images) before I settle on what I like best. This one was vary close to what I wanted.
Heck, maybe this one should’ve been the one I went with. It’s always hard to say.

SCENE: Darth Vader with a starry, space background.
CAPTION: Wearing a mask doesn’t make you evil. But not wearing one…might!
CAPTION: May the Fourth Be With You!
Alternative Image:
Be like Darth Vader! Always wear a mask!

There’s no original art this time because the comic uses several different pieces of art for this Last Kiss. But multi-talented Mike Pascale’s bunny art was the most crucial piece.
Thanks, Mike!
