"Love is" comic strips are known in the whole wide world. These heart-warming illustrations have gained the sympathy of thousands of people thanks to their innocence and simplicity. "Love is..." comic strips were created by New Zealand artist Kim Grove in the late 1960s. The beginning to the strip of comical pictures was laid by a couple of love notes for her future husband. "Love is" pictures were published not only in daily newspapers, but the most famous were printed on picture postcards and souvenirs as well. All Love is… pictures are made up in the same design. The beginning of a phrase that gave the name to the whole collection of comic strips "Love is" is placed in the top left corner of the picture. In the middle of the panel there is a nice drawing. And below the picture there is the remainder of the phrase whose sense is showed on the drawing. There are 2 key characters that make their appearance on every illustration – a pair of lovers, a male and a woman. They look like kids, but still, they represent grown-ups at different stages of relationship – from the moment they met through being a boyfriend and a girlfriend to a married couple having children that turn up on the illustrations now and then. Amid other personages that are pictured now and then there are also parents of a male and a female. The introduction of different family members assists in reflecting all the sides of love. The main personages are usually together, but still, sometimes they turn up alone. If one of them is thinking about the other, the face of his partner may appear in a dream balloon, on a photograph, or even a screen saver. There are also some illustrations where other men or women are shown. A special characteristic is that these people look completely different than the main personages. One more supporting personage is a dog that represents common house and home comfort. Furthermore, the majority of the items on an illustration are heart-shaped. This is a symbol of the collection's theme. Today's "Love Is..." comic illustrations, as seen in newspapers and magazines all over the world, are accessible in the Internet. It is kind of an effort to stretch Valentine's Day romance through the year. Individual illustrations have become e-mail greeting cards and may be forwarded free of charge to a special friend. |
