What’s going on in the original art? Helen is living in Hicksville (a suburb of Boringburg, USA) and is moving to Paris to study—leaving behind her boyfriend Steve.
She’s going to be gone for years and can’t ask him to wait.
So they’re breaking up (she thinks.)
But, before she leaves, Steve grabs her and kisses her one last time.
Later, Steve shows up in Paris sporting a French accent, a beret and a marriage license. But that’s a story for another time.

I was proud of today’s title “Gone Today, Beer Tomorrow”…’til it occurred to me that it had come to me a little too easily. So I Googled the phrase and it came up 2,440,000 times.
Obviously all these other people were clairvoyant and stole my idea—before I thought of it.
Today’s original art (above) is from First Kiss #5 (1958) and it’s a bit sparse on verbiage so I’m throwing in some extra panels.

The original art is from “A Kiss is Merely a Biological Phenomenon” which first appeared in Career Girl Romances #49. How odd is this story?
The main character is a nerd similar to Sheldon Cooper (of The Big Bang Theory)…if he was a girl…sent back in time to 1969.
I posted the entire story here for your jaw-dropping, oh-my-god pleasure.
