While I’m getting over Covid I didn’t have enough oomph to do a new comic for Memorial Day. (Coming up with a meaningful image and text for the holiday is by far my toughest assignment every year. Frankly, I’m not up to it at the moment)
The best I could do is run this reprint gag which has a military theme–sort of.
Art by Vince Colletta Studio from the story “Girl Meets Boy!” in First Kiss # 11, Nov. 1959. Published by Charlton.
