SCENE: Young woman with yellow and pink hair crying, with her hands covering her face.

CAPTION: At first, Ella was egg-cited! Surely she’d meet some-bunny special at the Easter party! But Ella’s fragile, emotional shell cracked when she realized that...even though she was a good egg, she’d never get laid!

It’s So Eggciting

It’s So Eggciting

I actually created today’s Last Kiss comic back in 2021. But I already had enough Easter gags. So I decided to save it and run it this year. This, of course, was long before the recent news that Die Hard star Bruce Willis has aphasia and was retiring.

I only mention this because the timing is a little awkward and I love Willis. Going all the way back to his Moonlighting days, he’s been a fun, larger-than-screen actor. And I sincerely wish him well. I hope, in this lastest chapter in his life, he can still enjoy many moments of joy and love.

After all, even a perfect film can be improved by adding car chases, gross out humor, modern special effects and sarcastic, talking animals!

Thus, just in time for Easter, we bring you the new, improved…
