Later this week, I’ll have a new Valentine’s Day cartoon that I cooked up with my pal Mike Pascale. But for now, here’s a slightly updated Valentine’s Day comic from the Last Kiss comic book series—way back in 2002.
And here’s the original 1962 published art:
Art by Dick Giordano from the cover of Love Diary #24, Nov. 1962.

CAPTION: Unlike you, most people are already having trouble keeping their New Year’s resolutions! Why? Well, frankly they’re not as smart as you! (And not as easily flattered either!) Take Bob for instance…please!
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Hi, Bob! Why the long face?
WOMAN: Oh, he’s just grumpy because of his New Year’s resolution! He’s giving up comics…to make me happy! Not more than hot, wild love with me!
BOB: Actually, I’d settle for a mildly arousing handshake if I could just keep reading Last Kiss!
