Happy Valentine’s Day!
My heartfelt thanks—but no “Candy” or “Roses”—to my pal Mike Pascale who came up with today’s joke.
Mike also did a masterful job of modifying the original art. I think this is the first time Mike has ever added cleavage to any Last Kiss characters.
Normally, of course, neither of us would ever think of sullying Last Kiss with <gasp!> sex. But it made the joke funnier. So, what could we do?

MAN (to girlfriend or wife): You wanted Candy and flowers for Valentine’s Day, so…
SECOND WOMAN: Hi! I’m Candy!
THIRD WOMAN: I’m Rose!

Goodbye, 2017. In many ways, you were so much worse—but sometimes better—than I could have imagined.
One thing that was always great, though, was all the support from my readers. Thank you for all the encouragement, suggestions and enthusiasm. You folks make all the work worthwhile. See you in 2018!
