More Last Kiss fun from Black Lightning creator Tony Isabella.
If you have trouble reading the text of the original art, I’ve typed it out below.
Art by Dick Giordano from Just Married #34, Dec. 1963.
Original 1963 Text: Andrew and I were on our honeymoon and very much in love! That would be enough…for a time! Then I would change my husband, and make ours a…”Perfect Marriage”
HUSBAND: Terri…you’re terrific!
WIFE (thinking): How can you be so crude?
Transcript of today’s Last Kiss comic:
Scene: Man and woman embracing and about to kiss.
WOMAN: Alone at last, my darling! We have 15 minutes tops before the kids figure out we’re on the roof…and bust through the door!
CAPTION: Even in lockdown, romance will find a way!

A crude, rude, and socially unacceptable friend of mine used to only date women who found that attractive. Used to drive me nuts that women would literally throw themselves at him. He claimed it was the “mothering instinct” in them.
Man marries hoping she won’t change. Woman marries hoping to change him. Both are disapointed.
Too bad she’s not saying that out loud. That would be the perfect setup for him to belch in her face.
How’s that for crude!
Of course, men don’t have the exclusive talent (there’s a better word, but I’m drawing a blank at the moment) for crudeness. The most crude people I have ever met have almost exclusively been women. Case in point. I remember being at a party when a woman (I won’t tell her name for fear of her hunting me down and doing this again) ran into the room, giggling like a maniac. She stopped and lifted her leg (and I’m not making this up) and proceeded to throw me and my friend as well as a few others, with the most powerful and loud fart it has ever been my misfortune to be subjected to. I swear, she blew my cowboy hat right off my head and we never found it again! I’m just glad no one was smoking! I can only imagine it would have looked like one of those tv programs where they show a hot water heater exploding, shooting straight up through the roof and basically going into orbit.
