Longtime readers—with incredible memories—may recognize this comic as a modified version of one that I originally wrote for COMICS BUYER’S GUIDE way back in the ancient past before Last Kiss was a webcomic.
Inked by Dick Giordano in the story “My Foolish Heart” in FIRST KISS #21, 1961. Click image to enlarge.
Transcript:
CAPTION: “On the highway of romance, our love had been hit by a moving van of pain and boredom. And now it was just a matter of scraping up the disgusting roadkill that remained of our marriage!
And yet…”
PANEL ONE SCENE: A mother comforts her crying adult daughter.
DAUGHTER: Mom! I still love him! What can I do?
MOM: have you two ever tried reading comic books?
PANEL 2:
SCENE: The daughter opens the door to a smiling man.
CAPTION: It sounded crazy! But after reading our first Last Kiss, we were like newlyweds again!
MAN: Good news! I bought out the comic shop! We can read comics every night!
DAUGHTER: At last, we’ll have something to do in bed!
CAPTION: Comics: Cheaper than alimony…and a lot more fun!
