The original First Kiss story “Magic in the Moon” is the tale of Plain Amy.
Amy’s self-esteem is lower than a snake’s waistline. And there’s no chance she’ll ever fall in love. Ever.
But then…
Amy becomes a contestant on a TV show and wins…a complete makeover!
Extra goodies include a Florida vacation and a hot dude to be her hired heartthrob.
It’s true love…Hollywood Style!

The original First Kiss art and dialogue (right) were published back in the good ol’ days—1961!
Back then, real men went to college. And less desirable creatures drove trucks for a living.
Nowadays?
Hey, given a choice between a college guy (Your student loan is how much?) and a truck driver (OMG! You make how much?), it might not seem so bad to keep on trucking.

MOM: I know you’re a virgin! But I’m knitting booties...just in case!
