Kathin and Utig's Copy of Raymond Peynet's Les Amoreaux de la Côte d'Azur

Kathin and Utig's copy of Les Amoreaux de la Côte d'Azur by Raymond Peynet has an original drawing of two lovebirds singing while perched on a heart. It is a nice valentine, but one can say that about any of Peynet's drawings.

A Valentine from John Norment

This cartoon by John Norment has long been a favorite of mine. It is one of the sweetest cartoons I've seen anywhere. I passed up the opportunity to acquire the original artwork decades ago for reasons that elude me today.

John Norment, "I love you, and I want you to be my bird."
The New Yorker, April 19, 1976, page 30
