Kisses By Mail

by Sheril Kirshenbaum

I’m going through my inbox and very impressed with how many readers are sending emails related to The Science of Kissing since I announced the title last week.

Thanks to ‘Dan G.‘ for the Zits comic from today’s paper:

And ‘Annie‘ for this ridiculous story in the news:

PORTLAND, Maine – A Maine high school senior says he was denied his diploma because he bowed during graduation and blew a kiss to his mother.

At least a half dozen emails arrived related to the kissing article in the latest issue of SciAm Mind. (Looks like a reprint from an old issue). Terrific work so far! I really appreciate the help and I have a hunch some of the material will find it’s way into the book. So thanks to everyone who sent articles, links, comics, scanned newspaper clippings, and more!

And finally this suggestion from ‘Hal‘ who’s already thinking about a book ‘soundtrack‘:

    Zits has been focused on kissing since Monday. It may last the week.
