Transcript:

PANEL #1: Gorgo is standing tall above the jungle, but is leaning unsteadily as if about to fall. There are are stars and special effect images above his head indicating that he’s losing consciousness.

PANEL #2: Gorgo crashes to the ground. A man flees screaming.

CAPTION: it was a familiar tale. Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl.

Boy drinks to forget girl.

And, as always, it was the helpless breweries…

…that paid the price for love unrequited.

SOUND EFFECT: KRAASH

MAN: YEEIII!

I’m Adorable

I’m Adorable

Ode to Oktoberfest?

In the real world, Oktoberfest was cancelled because of Covid.
.
Here on planet Last Kiss, however, I’m carrying on with a mini-Oktoberfest salute so that we can all share a digital drink together.
.
We conclude Monday with a monstrously funny gag from Tony Isabella that fits the Oktoberfest theme perfectly and also launches us into the Halloween season. Cheers!
