Personally, I use my lawyer when I want to fight. But Sheriff Sal recommends a more physical way of settling disputes! See the original panel art below or read the entire 1949 story.
Art by Ward King from the Sheriff Sal story “The Gila Monster Murders” in Western Adventures #6, 1949.

we’re having foreplay!

Apparently, my inner John Wayne persona isn’t through writing Western gags. Coming this Friday, I’ll be giving you the Last Kiss version of the shootout at the OK Corral—sorta!
Listen up, ya lily-livered dude. This was originally published in Cowgirl Romances #2, 1950. Artist unknown.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Headshot of a cowboy.
COWBOY: Civilization? No thanks! What’s next? marriage and baths?

I helped shape today’s gag, but the majority of the credit has to go to my pal Mike Pascale. First Mike came up with the brilliantly outlandish idea of linking the 12 labors of Hercules to Labor Day. Then, after he and I batted the dialogue back and forth, he revamped the art.
Mike has made it his mission to come up with as many bizarre Last Kiss holiday gags as possible. Frankly, I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.
Art by Art Cappello & Vince Alascia from First Kiss #11, 1959.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Hercules on a swimming raft with a beautiful woman in a modern bathing suit and a child in a bathing suit.
HERCULES: I'm HERCULES!
I performed 12 LABORS--beat
that!
WOMAN: Easy! I'm a woman--I was in labor for 12 HOURS!
