Dear Mr. Last Kiss:
I’m a normal, well-adjusted young woman who loves comics…
and men!
My current husband–
(Lucky #13!!! )–thinks I have issues. What do you think?
–Twitchy in Texas
MR: Last Kiss: I’m an expert in love!
Dear Twitchy:
There’s nothing wrong with
having issues…as long as they’re
issues of comic books.
So grab some copies of Betty &
Veronica—Serial Killers and tell
your hubby to lighten up!
If he doesn’t—dump him! (Preferably some- place secluded where no one will find the body.)
Afterwards you’ll have more time to devote to your issues. See? You’re feeling better already!
