Jumping! But Not for Joy

Jumping! But Not for Joy

I believe this is one of the first Last Kiss gags I ever wrote. If so, it would’ve been in the summer of 1995. Cripes! That was over 30 year ago!

I came across the gag in an old box of my papers and realized the comic had never been published. So here it is–a gag that has waited decades to see print.

And perhaps could’ve waited a few more!

SCENE: A man is on the ledge of a building, looking as if he might jump. A female nurse is looking out a window in the building and talking to him.

MAN: I can’t stand it! I’d rather jump than be in a Last Kiss comic!

NURSE: So go ahead! Who cares? We’re on the first floor!
