Love is...a Wild Ride! by Kim Casali
Timely and universal, everyone from your grandmother to your teenage daughter knows that love is...a wild ride Abrams is pleased to offer this second book of Kim Casali's beloved Love is...cartoons, first published in 1970, to a whole new generation. What began as Kim's private love notes to her husband became, throughout the 1970s and 80s, an internationally syndicated cartoon and pop cultural icon. Love is...a wild ride contains the romantic story behind this phenomenon and 365 more cartoons. This book features one of the most currently popular images (the Love is...couple on an easy rider motorcycle) and flower power foil stamping on the front cover, plus psychedelia-inspired endpapers.
The Love Is... phenomenon - endearing cartoons that bring smiles to the faces of everyone who sees them - began in the 1960s in the heart of artist Kim Casali. By nature shy, Kim created these little "love notes" to express her feelings for a man named Roberto, the man she would eventually marry. She left her sweet drawings for him everywhere, in the pocket of his jeans, under his pillow, on the seat of his car, even in his sock drawer. Unbeknownst to her, Roberto kept each and every one of them. Believing his wife's drawings to be something very special, he decided to show them to someone in the syndication business who agreed that their heartfelt message should be made public.
