Original art from First Kiss #21, 1961,
Don’t be petty, Helen. Let me talk to Ted.
Look, just because I slept with him last night doesn’t mean you can’t trust me now.
Well, all right. I guess I can wait for him to finish making love to you. But tell him to hurry!
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Woman talking on the phone.
WOMAN: My first obscene call? Well, that depends...making or receiving?

This one’s for my wife Shelagh—an eternal optimist. (In short, a Seattle Mariner’s fan.)
What? You thought I was the baseball fan in the family? Not likely!
But—for Shelagh’s sake—Go Mariners!

WOMAN: “Fantasy baseball?” Oh,

The dialog in the original 1960s art (right) leaves us hanging. Anyone want to come up with a clever suggestion to finish her thought balloon? What is her husband doing that she’s the last to know about?
Yes, sex is the obvious thing. But anything else?

The original 1958 First Kiss art is to the right.
As usual, it’s from a story that provides clear romantic guidelines for young readers.
(Remember, guys, when you want to talk to a woman, siphoning her gas and marooning her in the middle of nowhere is always a good good way to start a conversation!)
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A man and woman are outside. There's a Jeep or some other car behind them. The woman seems scandalized by what the man says.
MAN: To me, sex is like real estate! I want a great view…and good drainage!
