| Love is… comics are popular world over. These soul-warming illustrations have won the sympathy of millions of people due to their innocence and simplicity. "Love is..." comic strip collection was created by New Zealand artist Kim Grove in the late 1960s. The beginning to the series of amusing illustrations was laid by a certain number of love notes for her fiance. "Love is..." illustrations were published not only in newspapers and magazines, but the most famous of them were printed on picture post cards and souvenirs as well. All Love is pictures are made in the same appearance. The beginning of a phrase that gave the name to the whole collection of comics "Love is…" is placed in the top left corner of the illustration. In the middle of the illustration there is a nice drawing. And below the picture there is the remainder of the phrase whose meaning is represented on the drawing. There are two main personages that turn up on every illustration – sweethearts, a man and a woman. They look like kids, but still, they represent adults at different stages of relationship – from the day they met through being a boyfriend and a girlfriend to a married couple having kids that show up on the illustrations now and then. Amongst other characters that are pictured from time to time there are also parents of a male and a female. The introduction of several members of the family assists in reflecting all the sides of love. The leading personages are usually together, but nevertheless, now and then they appear alone. When one of them is thinking about the other, the face of his partner may appear in a dream balloon, on a photograph, or a screen saver. There are also a certain number of pictures where other men or women are shown. A special characteristic is that these people look totally different than the key characters. One more supporting character is a dog that symbolizes common house and home comfort. Besides, the majority of the items on an illustration are heart-shaped. This symbolizes the comic collection's theme. Today's "Love is" comic illustrations, as seen in newspapers and magazines in the whole wide world, are accessible in an online archive. It's kind of an attempt to stretch Valentine's Day mood throughout the year. Individual cartoons become email greeting cards and may be sent for free to a special friend. |
