Hey, hey. It's Valentine's Day.

I'm going to bypass the lame anti-Valentine's Day rant. It's hackneyed and boring. If you've got a jam then good for you. Jam on.  If you don't, it's not the end of the world. And no, Valentine's Day wasn't created by Hallmark and Hershey's just to sell cards and candy. It was created by the Catholic Church in 496 A.D. by some pope guy. At least that's what Wikipedia says. In 1969, the Catholics took it off the calendar but we still dig it anyway. So there's your educational tidbit for the day. You're welcome. 


But cards and candy are still super awesome and any excuse to give and get those things is pretty rad in my book. I got some super sweet valentines from my little monkeys at work. I was pretty excited. 


In all this hubbub, I decided to make my own valentines. And, not one to break with tradition, I went back to my tried and true subject matter. Behold. . . 



Ok, so maybe Batman and Liz Lemon are pretty perfect for each other. Both cranky curmudgeons who don't believe in Valentine's Day bliss. [It's Anna Howard Shaw Day as well, btw. Famous suffragette and Methodist preacher celebrated by angry ladies everywhere.]


Yes, naughty Bats is giving the finger. [Chill out, mom.] He's impolite like that. He also is holding a "Batarang." He's ready for business. Crime fighting business. So, suck on that V Day!
