Mystery Man: Fine Jams
Lots of clever Last Kiss readers post fun comments on
my website. But the fan known as
“fine jams and jellies since 1982” is unique. His frequent and fantastically funny comments—usually about the original comic book panels—have been so popular that he’s developed his own fan base.
.
Years ago, I turned one of his comments into an

.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
