My Comical Romance

Arts


This is a special episode for several reasons.  We have an (experimental) accompanying Youtube video for the first time, which you can find beginning at:https://youtu.be/6ZvHybw_x3w. There you can see not only our smiling faces, but images from the artwork we're presenting. This includes some famous paintings by Roy Lichtenstein, who "borrowed" romance comic images for his artwork. We talk about this phenomenon, then delve into the adventure attached to one of his most popular works, "Run for Love"!Here we find the unfortunate Vickie, the ugly (or less gorgeous) duckling among her sisters, who is, however, a scholar, a top-flight mechanic, life guard, among other accomplishments, but wouldn't you know it, she can't seem to get a Man! Until she happens upon the rudest, most unappreciative man you'll ever find, so of course she falls head over heels for him...
