Memorial Day 2025
I normally note when I use AI to create art for Last Kiss, but I wanted to keep this Memorial Day image uncluttered by credits—even my own. So I’m noting it here.
Happy Mom!

Text from original art:
CAPTION BOX: I wrote mother about him but i was more interested in telling her how much i missed her…
Not-So-Lucky Leprechaun
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
And—much more importantly—Happy Anniversary to my wife Shelagh Lustig. It seems impossible that it’s been 41 years. Oh, that’s right. We got married when we were in preschool during first recess. Instead of a honeymoon, we had nap time after lunch.
Also, Many thanks to Mike Pascale for the great gag—plus the art changes that created the leprechaun!
