A few of the many things I’m thankful for:
—spicy food.
—spicy women (especially my wife, Shelagh.)
—My pal Mike Pascale who once again has spiced up some old romance art—turning it into a fun holiday gag.
—My (spicy?) and very loyal readers. Thank you! I hope you all have wonderful Thanksgivings.

Yes, I could’ve done a much, much dirtier version of this gag. Forgive me. For once, good taste triumphed. I’ll try not to let it happen again.

Today’s comic is the first appearance of “Bucky” — the title character in a new Last Kiss-inspired animation project: IT’S ALWAYS BUCKY.
I’m developing the series with my pal, animation veteran Jack Enyart.
Jack and I have been wanting to work together for years. So, collaborating on BUCKY is sort of a dream-come-true for us!
