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.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Pilgrim man talking to a Pilgrim woman who has her hand over her face.
PILGRIM MAN: But…you said to “grab a breast!”
PILGRIM WOMAN: I meant the turkey’s…not my sister’s!

A few of the many things I’m thankful for:
—spicy food.
—spicy women (especially my wife, Shelagh.)
—My pal Mike Pascale who once again has spiced up some old romance art—turning it into a fun holiday gag.
—My (spicy?) and very loyal readers. Thank you! I hope you all have wonderful Thanksgivings.

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.
