The first Last Kiss comic appeared during the Stone Age (1996) in the late, lamented COMICS BUYER’S GUIDE. But nine years ago on Jan. 19, I re-invented Last Kiss and launched it as a webcomic on GoComics.com.
Since then I’ve done about 1,400 comics. I’m looking forward to doing at least 1,400 more. Oh, heck. Let’s make it 14,000 more!
So Happy Anniversary to me. And thank you for reading my comics—whether it’s on GoComics.com, here or elsewhere!
