Today’s Last Kiss: Ladies, he’s easily distracted. (“Squirrel!”)
He tries to look you in the eyes. (“Squirrel!)
And have a meaningful conversation. (“Squirrel!”)
But all of a sudden… (“Breasts!”)
Original Art:
To the right is the original art (plus a couple of panels) from Charlton’s Teen-Age Hotrodders #13 (1965).
It’s a hot-headed hotrodder versus a gang of rude, motor-mouthed motorcyclists. Given the title of the comic, who do you think will win?

If this art looks familiar, it’s because it’s from the same First Kiss story as one of last week’s gags.
The original romance story was about a girl who receives a complete makeover (plus a new boyfriend.)
Last week’s art was the “Before” panel. Today’s was the “After.”
And, yes, I gave today’s Last Kiss art an additional makeover. I thought the joke worked better if the girl was smiling.
So I grabbed a smile from elsewhere in the story and gave it to the girl on the right. Voilà! Instant happiness!

socks off...plus anything else you’re wearing!

The dialog in the original 1960s art (right) leaves us hanging. Anyone want to come up with a clever suggestion to finish her thought balloon? What is her husband doing that she’s the last to know about?
Yes, sex is the obvious thing. But anything else?

Here’s the original art.
Remember, guys. Stay in school!
Otherwise your girlfriend won’t love you.Then you’ll start drinking even more than you do now.
And you’ll end up spending all your time browsing Internet porn and web comics.
Oops. Too late.
