Happy Halloween!

CAPTION: Countess Suckula had lots of great first dates. But digging up second dates was difficult! They were always such grave affairs!

So, I’m officially launching the Last Kiss Halloween and horror gags for this year! Most will be brand new. A few—because I’m having cataract surgery this week and again later in the month—will be re-runs. So let the giggles (and groaning) begin!
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A female vampire, Frankenstein's monster and a human skeleton are in a graveyard. A witch is flying on a broomstick in the sky.
VAMPIRE: Halloween used to be such good, clean fun! Murders! Blood baths! Mars bars! But now…Now we just terrorize Last Kiss readers with ghastly gags!
Frankenstein's Monster: If I wasn’t already dead, I’d die of shame!
SKELETON: Ugh! Lustig’s humor wears me down to the bone!
WITCH: Watta buncha cry babies! Don’t they know…life’s a witch!

A big thanks and a (virgin) Bloody Mary to my buddy Mike Pascale for the sharp-toothed art modifications and basic idea for this gag.
On Sunday night, I’ll be posting another Halloween collaboration I did with Mike. So stay tuned, kids—same vampire bat time, same vampire bat channel!
