Turkey Turmoil

Turkey Turmoil

Happy Thanksgiving!

At the risk of being serious, I’ve got to say that I am insanely grateful to everyone who reads Last Kiss. Knowing that so many of you share my twisted sense of humor make it all worthwhile.

I also want to give a big thanks to my Pilgrim-painting pal Mike Pascale for today’s art and the basic idea for the gag. As soon as I read it, I said, “Wow! That’s no turkey!”

Meanwhile, back in 1962…
See the original 1962 art and dialogue for today’s Last Kiss webcomic here.

A few of the many things I’m thankful for:

—spicy food.

—spicy women (especially my wife, Shelagh.)

—My (spicy?) and very loyal readers. Thank you! I hope you all have wonderful Thanksgivings.

By the way, Mike is an avid football fan—particularly when it comes to the Seattle Seahawks.

If you suffer from a similar affliction, then check out his Seahawks webcomic on Facebook–-Game BUZZ.
