Happy Hearts Day!

And we are all full of happy hearts! (Also, of candy!)



We all hope you had a love-filled day with your sweetie! We hand- hoof-made special Valentine's for Randi using pictures from Dan Goodsell's "Mister Toast" blog (here's Valentines; look around his beautifully fun blog to find more great artwork!) and got some wonderful yummy treats. Don't eat 'em all at once—you'll get a tummyache!

In short, kiss somebody today! If you can't, eat some chocolate!

No, no, emphasize your R's. Deep in your throat, repeat after me: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.



Panel from Werewolf by Night #1 (September 1972), script by Gerry Conway, pencils by Mike Ploog, inks by Frank Chiaramonte, letters by John Costanza

Panel from Spider-Woman #19 (October 1979), script by Mark Gruenwald and Steven Grant, pencils by Carmine Infantino, inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Ben Sean, letters by Jim Novak
