It’s February, and as is tradition here on the ISB, that can only mean one thing:
AhhhhhhROMANCE!
But don’t worry: If you don’t have a special someone, I’m here to offer my expertise with a series of lessons that I’ve learned from that most lovelorn medium of all, the comic book. First up, a tip on how to set the mood for your surprise romantic encounter, from the pages of Garth Ennis and John McCrea’s Hitman:
It’s important to make your loved one feel special!
I guess he had her at “hello” — or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. Ladies love a hand-picked for awesomeness issue of “Hitman”.
Why not bring the next panel? “‘Made sex’?!?” “Kerrrrrrrhissssttt!!” Great standalone issue.
God, that’s a great (and sweet) moment.

“I THOUGHT my post about the love story of a Robot Brain and a French Gorilla was the funniest comics-related thing about Valentine’s Day on the Net . . .
But I was wrong.
DEAD WRONG.”
