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.

.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
