I thoroughly enjoyed working on today’s comic with my pal Mike Pascale. Mike approached me years ago about modifying some of my romance art for new Halloween gags. And from that has sprung a fun-filled tradition of working on most holiday gags together—with Mike making the art fit the gag. Thanks, Mike!
Original art by the Vince Colletta Studio from the story “Change of Heart” in FIRST KISS #37, 1964.

CAPTION: Darla loved dating the Headless Horseman…at first! He was a great listener! So modest! No swollen head! But soon she had doubts. Even…dread! Would the sex be mindless? Did he give good…bed? Suddenly Darla felt like she was in over her head!
WOMAN (thinking): He hasn’t said a word all night! is it my breath?

Will he ask for some head?
He’s certainly not going to give any.
If he does, it’ll have to be in sign language. Or maybe he’ll make a written request. Verbal requests are out!
Now he DEFINITELY won’t be able to spot her “delicate” spots to turn her on.
But at least he won’t be staring at her headlights!
True. I’m sure he’d like to stay abreast of her “delicate” spots. But can he find them? Maybe like braille, he’ll have to do it by touch.
