Disclose Notes: The infamous "kissing bandit" story. When told about the story and its twist ending in his interview in the Comics Journal, a shocked Dan DeCarlo said: "I didn't draw _that_, did I!?" (He didn't; it was Harry Lucey, who was dead by the time that interview was conducted.)

The story is divided into two chapters; Chapter 2 is called "Strike One Kisser!"
