Love Is…

Loveisbig_1

Some of us might have noticed this cute cartoon occassionally featured in NST as fillers some years ago.  I have a whole scrap book collection of them.  Because they were not published everyday, I will painstakingly pore through NST everyday to find them.  It became a treasure hunt of sorts for me.

Love is indeed a many splendored thing in this cartoon.  It can be something so mundane like…

Something so sweet…

Something so naughty…

Love is… was first created by Kim Casali as a love note of sorts to her husband to be.  They became a hit when syndicated.  After her death, her son, Stefano took over.

NST stopped publishing the cartoon somewhere in ‘97 and I stopped collecting them.  A few days ago I came across comicspage.com that features Love Is… everyday (except Sundays).  Their archives go back six months, so now I am rediscovering the joy of collecting my favorite cartoon.

Love Is… album in Friendster is coming soon, when I can find the time to do it.
