Today’s comic features a gag by my friend Jennifer M. Contino. For many years, Jen was a comics journalist (Entertainment Weekly, Wizard, Sequential Tart and others.)
These days, she’s the self-pronounced “Queen of Christmas comics.” (Even Santa doesn’t have a Christmas comic book collection as big as hers!)
Tomorrow, we’ll have another Felina Vie Christmas comic written by me. And the following day (Saturday), Jen will be back with a new Christmas-themed Last Kiss gag.
Original Vintage Art & Text
Inked by Dick Giordano. From the story “My Foolish Heart” in First Kiss #21, July 1961. Charlton. The story begins on Page 26.

But I’m taking a rest tonight with a 2018 re-run. (Why? Because…hey, it’s Christmas! You think you’re the only one who needs some time off?!)
So here’s another holiday photo-comic featuring the fabulous Felina Vie. Photo by the amazing Allen Freeman!
