Wedding Night? It’s a Surprise!

Mystery Man: Fine Jams

Lots of clever Last Kiss readers post fun comments on my website. But the fan known as “fine jams and jellies since 1982” is unique. His frequent and fantastically funny comments—usually about the original comic book panels—have been so popular that he’s developed his own fan base.

Years ago, I turned one of his comments into an actual Last Kiss comic. Today’s comic is the second “Fine Jams” Last Kiss. And there definitely will be more in the future.
.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
