@John RusscoIt’s definitely not my best gag. So, from that standpoint I’ll say I apologize. I always want to give readers my best. Deadlines (and life) dictate that I go with the best that I have at the moment. So some gags are better than others.
(For that matter, some reader comments are better than others.)
I’ll add that it’s often hard to figure out what the “best” gags are ahead of time. I’m often surprised by reader reaction.
But if you’re offended because this gag has to do with the fact that one of the characters is having a sex change and/or isn’t straight—-well, I won’t apologize for that.
Last Kiss obviously plays around with matters of sexuality. In most cases that sexuality is between a straight man and a straight woman.
I’m a married, straight guy. So I know that material. The gags about horny men and women come fairly easily.
But it’s fun once and awhile to write something from a different viewpoint. And I’ll continue to do that when the mood strikes me.
If that offends you, then I’m sorry. Stop reading if you must.

He was the last straw. He put her over the edge. The problem is, she/he’ll want to keep dating after the operation.

That would be an interesting before (or after) panel. But here’s the original art from the 1960s:

Shouldn’t it be “I need to turn in early before my sex change tomorrow”? Unless it was a daytime date.

I think it’s funny. You have nothing to apologize for Mr. Lustig.
