Meanwhile, back in 1951…
See the original 1951 art and dialogue for today’s Last Kiss webcomic here.
Okay, you’re a reporter (in the original art) and you concoct a fake story about your boyfriend (a junior lawyer at a big law firm.) You make it sound like he’s the real legal genius–and not his boss. So, which of the following do you think will happen?
A. Your boyfriend’s boss offers him a partnership and a big raise.
B. Your boyfriend is fired and hates you.
C. Your editor at the newspaper fires you.
D. Your boyfriend AND you are both fired. Your boyfriend hates you. And you’re a loser!
E. You’re hired by Fox News and date Sean Hannity.
Artist unknown. Art from Ten-Story Love #204, 1955.
Just so you know, in my version of reality Miss Foster quit the Left-Handed Paper Clip Company later that year.
She then started her own corporation, Digital Paper Clips (“For all your digital paper needs.”)
She eventually sold the company; married a Mr. Robinson (briefly); and invested half her money in plastics and the rest in an online dating service called Cougars.R.Us.com
She is much richer and happier than you.
