This is probably my favorite Valentine’s Day post — Not smarter than an eleventh grader…
It’s two V-days later, and I’m wondering how that lanky eleventh grader is doing. He’s not sixteen anymore, and he’s probably growing into his hands and feet. He’s, no doubt, working on a start-up company somewhere. One thing’s for sure. He’s got a date and a reservation!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Who would have thought that something expressed in so few characters would broaden my world, but it has. Yes. I’m talking about Twitter. Twitter is a world of discovery, baby!
And one of the many things I’ve discovered is the land of @gapingvoid — aka Hugh MacLeod — cartoonist, author, CEO. He speaks to me. I don’t question why. He just does. End of story.
It’s the talented cartoonist I’m focusing on here. This, from his Love series, came in my inbox today –

I’m thinking, Hell, yeah! Just kiss me. My kind of Valentine.
Are you listening, Mr. G, honey?
Mr. G?
Honey?
He should really wander over here more often and find out what I’m saying about him.
I’ve received seven of these original lovelies giving a nod to Valentine’s Day, the commentary with each and every one — priceless. I know. I know. @gapingvoid would not use the term lovelies, but we’re in the land of Elen now.
This one spoke to the romance writer in me –

When Valentine’s Day has passed, @gapingvoid will be returning to his usual edgy self. I’m looking forward to that, too.
Check out his site here. Or Hugh’s Daily Cartoon here. Go. See.
And MacLeod — You can draw cartoons on the back of business cards, on napkins, I don’t care. Just keep drawing them!
Yep. World of discovery. Srsly.
