The Birds and the…?

The Birds and the…?

Those of you who know me personally (or follow me on Facebook) may have heard that a couple of weeks ago I was stung at least a dozen times by wasps.
 Ironically, I wrote this gag a few days before that happened. Honestly, though, I don’t have a problem with bees. Wasps, however…ugh. They’re trying to kill me.
Want proof? A few years ago, I was stung on the back of my head by a wasp. While attempting to run away from it, I fell on the sidewalk and broke some of my ribs.
I’m convinced that I was “double teamed.” One wasp stung me and another tripped me. Yes. They’re that mean!

Married Sex?

Married Sex?

To feed the Dreaded Deadline Monster, I sometimes brush off an old comic, clean it up a bit and re-run it. But I rarely revamp a gag as much as this one which originally ran on July 22, 2009. New art. Newly revamped text. I think this version is funnier. What do you think?

Art by Art Saaf & Mike Peppe from the story “Kiss and Run” in NEW ROMANCES #14, 1952.
