…I want to be able to pull off something as cute and funny and just plain awesome as this piece from Amanda Conner:

SuperFriends Action Valentine Playbook
From 1980 Cleo comes this gigantic 11 x 17-ish book of Super Friends valentines!
Sure you’ve got your standard “I think you’re neat, Valentine!” sort of stuff, but there’s also 30 punch out “action” valentines! Fold here, insert tab A into slot B, etc… What fun!
I scanned everything in really big so you can print, cut, and assemble them in time for Valentine’s Day next week. (Just click on the images for the larger version.)
I actually assembled a few and was working on taking movies of them in action, but the combination of 30 year old paper and my bratwurst fingers made for some sad, sad valentine action.
Anyway, enjoy:
Hope you liked ’em! I’ve got some old Batman valentines here as well.
(And, if you get a chance, check out my valentine cartoons too.)

Well, this is it. The end of January’s Sue Storm Thursdays. And I can’t think of a better way to end it than with this:
Come on, just look at how great this is!
First off, choosing a sunny yellow instead of a traditional blue is great. Dressing her in jeans and a FF t-shirt? Even better. But for me, and I wish I could say why, but for me the hair is the best part here. Sigh…
And just to recap, here’s the other Sue pics from earlier in the month:

Sue Storm by J. Scott Campbell
It’s time for Sue Storm Thursday again! This week it’s J. Scott Campbell’s take:
The above is obviously a convention sketch, but I love the energy of the line. And it’s probably the least matronly of the four Sues I’m spotlighting this month.
OK, we wrap it up next week with my all time favorite, Darwyn Cooke. See you then!
Sue Storm by Bruce Timm
This week’s Sue Storm is by one of my all-time favorite comics artists, Bruce Timm:
This has a real retro feel to me with that classic Marvel hairdo that I just adore. Not to mention the perfect wrinkles in the clothing, the great sense of feminine motion, and the hint of invisibility at the bottom.
Bruce Timm can do no wrong in my book.
See ya next week for J. Scott Campbell’s Sue!
