Laugh it up, BOYS ! ! ! In a few short years, you’ll be ‘falling over’ one another to get to them and chocolates and flowere to give to that special female ! ! ! !
When I began saving the Valentine cards from my only child, I had no idea that they, and memories of him, would end after 45 years and 5 months. Both are a blessing now.
I remember when this first came out. I thought this was pretty accurate because that’s how a lot of boys are when they are younger. I lost the comic over the years though.

It isn’t so much the words, it’s the thought that someone got you a card.

Lawerence’s face expressions in panel 2 and 5 are hilarious.

Sometimes being sappy makes us happy. Happy Valentine’s Day all. Be patient with each other.

Those who can buy the card. Those who can’t snark about it.

And yet if any one of them got that card from their sweetie, they’d treasure it. Boys can be secretly sentimental!

Valentine’s Day is fine — it’s Sweetest’s Day I object to.

I forgot Lawrence was part Black! (Now I remember the whole story about his father that came in later strips.)

I think the division of the National Cartoonist Society that does Greeting Cards is not getting the love from Lynn Johnston today.

My husband died last month. This is my first “holiday” without him. Oh, what I would give for one more sappy card from him.

And now she’s 87 and has to live with them. Cleaning out the house, they find that 60 year old card that she saved.
