Love Is...Loath. Apparently.

Salvaged from my junkbox of drafts is this little animal. This was, as I vividly remembered, back in 2005 mind you, originally from an independent.co.uk article. Double damnation that I even have the exact link which is now dead and will lead you to the main page of independent.co.uk. Fortunately, thanks to the immortality of internet memes, I found a blog devoted entire to this subject, complete with the quoted text I had from the original article. Goes a long way to show you the relentless way one abuses the free blog system. Anyway, have fun. The good people syndicating 'Love Is..' comics recently ran a contest where fans of the long-running strip could submit their own takes on this time-honored classic. This was taken by some to mean that there was an interest in changing or at least shifting the sensibility of the comic, one of the great one-panel strips in cartooning history. This notion was mistaken. In fact, contained herein are some stabs that very narrowly skirted legal action. What happened to this post that it remained in the Draft junkbox for more than four freaking years deludes me.
