Oh, crud. Running this gag made me realize that I’m long overdue for a visit to my own dentist’s torture chamber. (I got the reminder card a year or so ago–and promptly forgot about it.) Time for an appointment. Arrrgh
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Woman smiling in dentist chair. Dentist is standing next to her and smiling.
WOMAN: I’ve had dates fill my cavities before...but never like this!

Other excuses that won’t fly:
–I don’t want to rob banks. But that’s where they keep the money.
–No one told me the gun was loaded…any of the times I shot him.
–It’s not my fault this isn’t funny. You’re just not reading it right!
Here’s the German version of this comic.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A man and woman are seated at a desk and he's pointing to some sheets of paper on the desk. She looks dubious.
MAN: I don’t want to take your last dollar! But what can I do? I’m addicted
to money!

I’m having a nerd weekend–and that’s a good thing. I’m spending the next three days at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle. I’ll be at the Last Kiss booth (#412) Friday through Sunday.
↓ TranscriptMAN: There’s at least a 73.9 percent chance that I love you
WOMAN: And at best a 47.6 percent chance that I’ll marry you...and be faithful!
CAPTION: "Nerd Dating!"

This comic was supposed to run as a full-page gag in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1676. It’s one of three gags that I did for CBG’s “romance comics” issue.
But then fate–cruel, wicked fate–intervened!
Sure my cover art and another gag made it into the issue. But my third gag got cut at the last minute. The official reason? No room.
But maybe there was another reason. Maybe it was part of a vast conspiracy to…[insert any random quote from Charlie Sheen here.]
So that’s why I’m running the comic here. Because if I didn’t the [insert another random quote from Sheen] would win!
↓ TranscriptSCENE: At a party a man and a woman are dancing. In the background an angry man looks at them and says...
MAN: That does it! No more romance comics for you, young lady!
