The art as it was first colored for me by Allen Freeman. I used it this way in one of my previous Last Kiss gags. Click image to enlarge.
Prepare to be amazed (and maybe a little grossed out.) Mike Pascale is back with more horror-themed Last Kiss comics for Halloween.
As in past years, Mike has taken some old Last Kiss art and revamped it to include monsters. Unlike past years, though, I didn’t write any of the jokes. Mike dreamed up all four gags himself.
And these gags are killer good!
(Or killer bad if you’re squeamish about gore.)
Below is the original art from First Kiss #20 (1961.)

Just so you know, in my version of reality Miss Foster quit the Left-Handed Paper Clip Company later that year.
She then started her own corporation, Digital Paper Clips (“For all your digital paper needs.”)
She eventually sold the company; married a Mr. Robinson (briefly); and invested half her money in plastics and the rest in an online dating service called Cougars.R.Us.com
She is much richer and happier than you.

The Story:
Stella has been dating Bill (the guy in panel 2.) But, when he tries to take her for a ride, she breaks up with him.
Why? Because she’s still in love with her old beau—Denny.
Unaware that fickle Stella is once again in the mood for love (and sex?), Denny decides to leave town—for good.
Fortunately, Stella discovers that Denny is taking the next train out of town. And so…

Joking aside, we all know that only some women are like cars.
Most women are more like bicycles. No driver’s licenses are required. Simple to maintain. Easy to ride. Crash helmets recommended.
Only fast, expensive women are like cars.
The original art (right) is from First Kiss #4, 1958.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A mom is talking to her daughter.
MOM: Sweetie, women are like cars! Men want ‘em more…before they stick their keys in and drive away!
