Love Sick: A Smoldering Look at Love, Lust and Marriage
I am in love! In little more than two months, following the kitschy, monster-themed GOTH-ICKY and the cutesy, animal-lovin’ HAPPY KITTY BUNNY PONY, the good people at PopInk are back with LOVE SICK: A SMOLDERING LOOK AT LOVE, LUST, AND MARRIAGE, a collection of Pop Art pieces dealing with all the typical aspects of romance and revulsion, all with that patented genius commentary from MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000’s Mike Nelson, who once again makes this book so worth your 15 bucks.
Never a stereotypical view on the subject, LOVE SICK manages to make love such a beautifully twisted thing that you can’t help but wish these were made into Valentine’s Day cards. Diamond rings with names like “disgraced princess cut” and “mall cut” intermingle with badly cross-dressed men and gold-digging women with an elderly gentleman on her arm. And when you add Nelson’s commentary – “Some guys were just not meant for drag. However, one way to give yourself a fighting chance is to lose the giant cookie-duster of a moustache” – it just gets even better.
If you haven’t picked up any books in this series yet, do so immediately. They not only beautify your coffee table, they make hilarious light reading, whether or not you’re in love, lust or otherwise.
