You gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin’
You’ll never win
That’s when a grin
Should start.
You gotta have hope
Mustn’t sit around and mope
Nothin’s half as better as it may appear
Wait’ll next year
And hope.
—Lyrics to “You Gotta Have Heart” from DAMN YANKEES
Artist unknown. From the story “Margot Haffner: Passion for Dolls” in CRIMES BY WOMEN #13, 1950.

My sister (Lisa Hernandez) has been a major help with my Last Kiss business. She has more business acumen—and more commonsense—than silly, impractical me. And she often helps me out at comic conventions.
But it never occurred to me that my sweet sis would want to write a Last Kiss comic. And it seemed even less likely that my cat-loving, zombie-hating sister would ever make a joke about a mangled feline. But…geez, what do I know?
Hey, Lisa. Got any vampire cat gags?
