Pairing vintage comic art with hilarious, new dialog by Disney veteran writer John Lustig, Last Kiss revels in the absurdities of love, lust and 'life with lip.' The series originated when Lustig bought the publishing rights to a romance comic book series from the 50's and 60's, and started rewriting the stories for fun. Since then, the re-dialogued comics have been a popular feature in newspapers, magazines, comic books and greeting cards. Today Last Kiss is gaining popularity and is also available on email cards from Jib Jab and greeting cards from NobleWorks. Check www.lastkissinc.com for the latest news and product launches.

And here’s a link to the original art as it appeared in a 1960s issue of First Kiss:

Typical high school male, although this one looks a little long in the tooth…

For some reason, the girl at the front of the picture reminds me of Lois Lane in the 50s/60s Superman TV show.

When you’re that much in love you want to shout it to the world.

“Ted’s infectious smile made my heart do tricks” (from the original art)
Just your heart?

And yet, that young man returned to his home state fifty years later, and won the Georgia GOP Presidential Primary in a landslide.

My wife had a similar reaction to yours when she read the original art. Tricks indeed!
It’s interesting to me to see the new meanings/context that the old text has when contrasted to my new dialog.
A lot of the time, I’m really not looking at the old text when I write the new text. (Sometimes I’ll write the gags weeks or even months after I’ve removed the old text and had Allen Freeman color it.)
