☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Keep a Kiss for Me" is a quietly compelling slice of 1970s British life, drawn with delicate precision by Carrillo in both art and inks. Claire finds herself caught between two worlds—her growing connection with a struggling artist named Rick and the unexpected spotlight of a quirky advertising campaign that turns her into the face of a soda brand called 'Kookie'. A 60-cent comic in 1970, it captures the small, poignant choices that shape a life, all rendered in Carrillo’s expressive, understated style.
Claire Aster finds herself caught between two worlds when she begins modeling for Rick Kelson, a struggling artist with grand ambitions, at a struggling commercial art studio run by the eccentric Lord 'Joxer' Jocley. As her quiet life shifts into the spotlight, Claire is pulled into a whirlwind of publicity when the studio’s niece, Corinna, enlists her to star in a quirky new ad campaign as "Kookie," a role that quickly gains fame. With her heart torn between Rick’s artistic vision and the sudden fame of her new role, Claire must decide what kind of future she truly wants.
Ira watches her nephew sail a toy boat, the motion stirring memories of Harry—his dreams of sailing the world, the bond they shared over those small boats, and the day he left her behind to chase the horizon. Though she stayed in Bursham, the past still carries the weight of what might have been.
