Happy St. Patrick’s Day from me and my partner in today’s comic shenanigans—Mike Pascale.
In addition to transforming a guy in a striped suit (see first panel below) into a leprechaun, Mike provided today’s “lepre-con” pun.
By the way, today’s comic is a mashup of two panels from FIRST KISS Comics. See below.
Art by the Vince Colletta Studio from FIRST KISS #8, 1959.
Artist unknown. Art from the story “The Love that Failed” in FIRST KISS #25, 1962.

My sister (Lisa Hernandez) has been a major help with my Last Kiss business. She has more business acumen—and more commonsense—than silly, impractical me. And she often helps me out at comic conventions.
But it never occurred to me that my sweet sis would want to write a Last Kiss comic. And it seemed even less likely that my cat-loving, zombie-hating sister would ever make a joke about a mangled feline. But…geez, what do I know?
Hey, Lisa. Got any vampire cat gags?
