This is an adaption of a two-parter that I originally did for Comics Buyer’s Guide back in 2004. It appears here in color for the first time and with a new opening caption and some minor edits. Part 2 will appear this Friday.

↓ TranscriptCAPTION: "Hello, I’m Mildred Inksplat--sexy scholar of comic book wisdom! I'm here today to discuss Batman’s most famous utterance: “Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot!”*
MILDRED: What did Batman really mean by that? My research shows that Most criminals are... men! So obviously batman is saying......men are more likely to be cowardly, superstitious and dishonest than women! Oh, No! Does that offend you? I’m sincerely sorry! And do you know why? Because I’m a woman, you clod! I’m considerate! I care! if I was a man I'd never be this %$#@ sensitive!
Friday, In Part 2 of 2: Mildred Gets Even More %$#@ Sensitive!

If today’s episode seems different than most Last Kiss comics it’s because this one originally appeared in Comics Buyer’s Guide way back in the 1990s. And most of my gags back then were aimed at the comic fans and pros who made up the bulk of CBG‘s readership.
I’ve added a bit of color for the new version. And I also modified the gag quite a bit. (No outdated Batman movie references now. Instead the gag mentions Underoos and Black Lightning.)
If my current readers enjoy this, I might resurrect some of my other Last Kiss comics that appeared in CBG!
