Comics or romance? Fortunately, I’ve never had to choose…
↓ TranscriptCAPTION: The Army sent me to Frozen Hope, Alaska--a place so remote that snowmen are counted as eligible voters...and snow women as eligible dates! Many a romance ends during the spring
thaw! Frustrated and frostbitten, I gave up on love and started reading comic books! But then, one day...
PANEL 1:
SCENE: Man is startled as he sees a woman.
MAN: Good grief! Areyou...a woman?
WOMAN: There's only one way to find out, mister!
PANEL 2:
SCENE First man and woman kiss as an older man looks on in alarm.
CAPTION: Just then, the owner of Frozen Hope Comics showed up!
OLDER MAN: Joe, no! I've got a new X-Men waiting for you!
PANEL 3:
SCENE: Older man and older woman talk.
OLDER WOMAN: Give up, pulp pusher! he's found something better than comics!
OLDER MAN: Is that...possible?

Sometimes a joke takes root and won’t die. Then weird things happen…and characters like today’s Vixen Von Tramp are born.
Ms. Von Tramp (and her entire clan) were conceived over on gocomics.com/lastkiss when one of my readers–the impressively monikered “LordDogmore”–suggested that one of my less chaste female characters was “a member of that singing group “The Von Tramp” family. The play on the “Von Trapp” family of “The Sound of Music” tickled my silly bone. And apparently it did the same for other GoComics regulars because ever since then we’ve been making jokes about the Von Tramps.
Until today, though, none of my comics officially mentioned any of the Von Tramps by name. So, I take great pleasure in presenting a member of the clan Von Tramp. I’m sure we’ll meet more of them in the future. Thanks, LordD!
