Love Is… love notes on a comic strip

Current Status: | Obsession Rate:

If yesterday I posted a blog of a man who continues to publicly declare his love through cardboard notes, today I will post about a woman’s love for her husband – in the form of comic strips.

Love Is… began as a series of little love notes that Kim Grove – a New Zealand artist – drew for her future husband, Roberto Casali, back in the 1960s. The first strip published was “Love Is…being able to say you are sorry”, which coincided closely to the 1970 film Love Story’s signature line: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry”. Sweet. And here’s more sweetness:

Love Is... finding time for each other! :)

I love receiving text messages from him :)

Here's a tough one we all need to work out :)

Every moment is precious when I'm with you...

Still don't like chores, but it's more bearable! :)

Ahhhh... that is love!!! :)

Kim passed away in 1997, but has passed on the legacy to her son, Stefano Casali. There are books, calendars, and other Love Is… goodness that you can find anywhere in book or gift shops. I’ve seen a few myself, and have always loved the idea & the simplicity of the drawing (rather cute too). It takes dedication and a whole lotta love to continually write love notes to someone for the rest of your life! <3
