New Year’s Resolution #163

New Year’s Resolution #163

As we start a new year of comic love and lust, I just want to thank all of you for making Last Kiss such a great experience for me. Your support, your comments (often dirtier—and sometimes funnier—than my jokes) keep me going. Well, that and the buckets of money.

(Oh, you haven’t sent me a bucket of money lately? Shame on you. Just send a blank check. Or some really good oatmeal cookies. I’m not picky.)

Happy New Year, everyone!

Here’s the original 1958 art for today’s Last Kiss webcomic.
