Married Sex?

To feed the Dreaded Deadline Monster, I sometimes brush off an old comic, clean it up a bit and re-run it. But I rarely revamp a gag as much as this one which originally ran on July 22, 2009. New art. Newly revamped text. I think this version is funnier. What do you think?

Art by Art Saaf & Mike Peppe from the story “Kiss and Run” in NEW ROMANCES #14, 1952.
