Ideal Valentine's Day card.

Happy Valentine's Day. Hope everyones has heaps of lays tonight.

Crude, but sincere.

It's Complicated, Meryl

When my mum was younger, she read Jackie magazines. They were pretty much the Girlfriend/Creme/Dolly of their day, but way cooler. They were far more romantic than some of the things you can read in magazines for young girls today.

A while ago, I found all these pages from different Jackie magazines which had been ripped out and put away in a box. All of the pages were the 'Jackie Complete Stories' that came in every issue which would invariably involve a boy/motorcycle/letter-writing/forbidden love. Pretty much the ingredients for the perfect relationship. I have no idea why my mother saved these pages in particular - she's probably just secretly romantic like me.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Despite being a mostly unsentimental person (that is completely untrue I don't even know why I said that), I love reading these stories. The frames above are some I found in different romance comics that would sometimes to be on the back of the ripped out pages. They were usually the end of the comic, which is good, because it means I always know how things turn out.

Comic.

I wrote a comic when I was on holiday in Whangamata. It's pretty stupid, but my friend Joseph draws really cool comics and I just want to be cool like him.
