In 1984 on St. Patrick’s Day, my wife went insane. Instead of screaming and running out of the church, she married me. So St. Pat’s Day is always a major event for us. This year we’re celebrating three decades of Shelagh having a lapse in judgment and somehow being happily married to me. So far, so good. —John Lustig

I helped shape today’s gag, but the majority of the credit has to go to my pal Mike Pascale. First Mike came up with the brilliantly outlandish idea of linking the 12 labors of Hercules to Labor Day. Then, after he and I batted the dialogue back and forth, he revamped the art.
Mike has made it his mission to come up with as many bizarre Last Kiss holiday gags as possible. Frankly, I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.
