Sweet Dancin’, Sweet Romancin’
Although I often post romance art because it’s so absurd, there’s something about this panel from Brides in Love #1 that I find very sweet.

Now, here’s something you wouldn’t see in an American comic book for kids.
Although this may look like an audition for Last Kiss cheerleaders, it’s actually an ad in a Danish Donald Duck comic book.
This full-page ad appeared in the Oct. 13, 2005 edition of ANDERS And & Co. It’s promoting a movie af banen! (We are the Champions) about a divorced dad who takes over the coaching of his son’s little league soccer team—thus reconnecting with his son. (And earning the love of one of the soccer moms.)
Judging from this photo, he’s also popular with cheerleaders.
This is absurd. Most men aren’t that easily distracted by…SQUIRREL!!

SQUIRREL!
Shame on you! You know that thing you did? That horrible, rotten thing? You should be ashamed!
This is your chance to feel good about being ashamed. Wallow in it all day. Enjoy your shame. That way you won’t have to feel guilty the other 364 days of the year.
Wait a minute, though. You say you don’t have anything to be ashamed of?
Holy purgatory! What’s wrong with you? If you’re not ashamed of something—then your life is too *&^% boring!
You need to do something shameful today!
Steal a kiss. Sleep with the head of the CIA. Eat the ears of the ears off your kids’ chocolate Easter bunnies—before Easter and possibly before you buy them. Date a Republican.
And if you don’t? It’ll be a shame.
This has nothing to do with Last Kiss, but here’s a great scene from a Thanksgiving-themed Donald Duck story written and drawn by the great Carl Barks. Original publication in Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #75, 1946. ©The Walt Disney Company.
