I’m excited to present a new, reoccurring Last Kiss feature:
“That Was Then, This Is Now!” I created it primarily to showcase the humor of long-time fan
“fine jams and jellies since 1982.”
.
For years Jams has been making outrageously funny comments here on my website. I’ve turned a few into Last Kiss comics. But—because Jams’ quips are about the vintage comics on my site—most are best enjoyed when seen with those comics.
.
So I came up “That Was Then, This Is Now!” I hope you like it. More are on the way over the coming weeks and months.
.
Many thanks to Jams for all the hilarity and letting me adapt his quips.
