Three’s a Crowd! Two…Ain’t Enough!
Lucky me. Not only did Orson Scott Card create a caption for the current writing contest (submit through Feb. 5, 2010), he also wrote the dialog for today’s comic.
Frankly, I love it. (If Charles Addams did romance comics I’d like to think they’d be like this.)
Orson actually wrote captions for a number of other Last Kiss panels. I’m just trying to figuring out the best time and format to use them. As I said before…lucky me.

My Brother–the Hero!
I’m going to brag a bit about my brother Jim Lustig. Unsung heroes usually go–well, unsung. But Jim was recently honored as a “King County Hero” for his efforts to feed his community–particularly the homeless and poor.
Bizarrely, one of the homeless people he fed was an arsonist who was burning down buildings all around his Upper Crust Catering business here in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood.
Here’s an article about Jim, the award (and his unwitting interactions with the arsonist) in an article in The Seattle Times.
Happy 29th!
Ack! If my brain had been working before I took off for San Diego, I would’ve scheduled this comic on the 29th, not the 31. Why? Because July 29th was my wife’s birthday. And, Shelagh, I’m willing to believe you’re 29…if you’re willing to believe I still have a full head of hair. Happy Birthday, Shelagh!
