I really love what Moen did here:

Panels from "Kissing Booth" by Erika Moen, part of OH JOY SEX TOY.

In the first panel, Erika nervously sits next to a Stranger. They are both at Kissing Party, and have agreed to kiss.

ERIKA: Haha, ok, well...

In the second panel, Erika and the Stranger pucker their lips at each other, moving in for the smooch.

NO DIALOGUE

The last panel has a silhouetted Erika on a diving board, as well as another silhouetted figure, diving into black water.

NARR: The moment before a first kiss is like standing on the edge of a diving board. Will you dive in smoothly? Will you bellyflop?

Okay. So here's what I know - I lost my day job. - I hated my day job. - I liked having a lot of money and health insurance. - But a lot of money never made me happier, I just owned more stuff. - I do still need health insurance. - I'm really fucking good at lettering comic books.

Okay I’ve been been shy about it, but I think it’s time to start posting dog on main

Metamorpho panel. Simon Stagg carrying a St Bernard. One of those panels where I wished Helioscope had a St Bernard on staff to help with reference.

Kr?pto dangling a tiny Mr Mxyzptlk from his mouth. I hate having to censor Superman’s dog’s name, but even misspelling that word can get you put on blocklists.

Panel in progress from Backflash. A young boy is wearing an old Ben Cooper Frankenstein costume, and it’s scaring a collie.

Muttamorpho the Element Dog is in the background of this panel, happily rolling around in corpse juice.
