I think my title for Tony Isabella‘s gag about lizard romance is okay. But I came up with so many others that I sorta lost perspective. My second favorite was:
Jealousy (and Coke)—it’s the Real Thing!

I’m always glad when I can come up with a gag featuring the fabulous Felina Vie. Photo by the allusive Allen Freeman!
Transcript:
SCENE: Felina Vie is on her stomach on a bed. She has antlers on her head. She also has very frizzy red hair that has been teased up high into her antlers.
FELINA: Come on, Lustig! This Halloween let’s be classy! No jokes about me being “horny.” No lame puns. I refuse to fawn over you. Doe us proud and…and..Oh, deer! You’re turning this into a stupid stag party joke, aren’t you?

Transcript:
