Roses last a week. This one stays on the shelf.
Chocolate is gone by the fifteenth. A comic book about the two of you - the inside jokes, the place it started, the way they take their coffee - is the Valentine they reread in July. Order on the thirteenth and it still arrives in time, because every comic is delivered within 24 hours.
A Valentine should prove you were listening.
It is made from the jokes
The nickname, the bit about the parking, the thing they always say at the door. Those go into speech bubbles, panel by panel, and they will hear it in your voice.
It is not another card
Cards go in a drawer. A book with their face on the cover goes on the shelf, gets shown to friends, and comes down again next February.
It works whether you are new or twenty years in
Three months in, the story is the meet-cute. Twenty years in, it is the whole road. Tell us how long it has been and the book is written to fit.
What arrives in your inbox.
- A 26-page comic: cover, dedication, 22 story pages, epilogue, back cover
- Both of you drawn from your own photos, in the city you share
- A high-resolution PDF, ready to print or to send, within 24 hours
The Listening Hour - A couple's book: the hero and the partner who knows her rituals
The Last Page First - Two faces, one story, their own street as the set
Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
The meet-cute, corrected
Their version and your version disagree. The book settles it, with both of you drawn into the bar, the app, the party or the wrong train.
The night the city tried to stop you
Every date something went wrong and you kept going. A comic where the rain, the closed restaurant and the dead phone are the villains.
What they do that nobody sees
The lunch packed, the light left on, the text before the flight. Their quiet habit becomes the power that saves the day.
The argument, as an epic
The one about the thermostat, told as a two-hero standoff across your own apartment, ending where it always ends.
Your city, in the dark
A night walk through the places that are yours: the corner, the bridge, the bench. Two heroes, no villain, one ending.
What to put in the form.
One line only they say
The phrase, the nickname, the thing at the door. Quoted exactly. It goes in a bubble and lands harder than any poem.
The place it started
Name it. The bar, the street, the platform. A real landmark on page one is what makes them look up at you.
Photos of both of you
Two or three clear photos each, in daylight, faces visible. The drawing is built from them, glasses and all.
Laugh, cry, or both
Tell us the feeling you are going for. Valentines can be silly or devastating; the story is tuned to the one you pick.
Comics we have made for two.
Easier than a table for two on the fourteenth.
Tell us about them
A short form and a few photos. Their personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.
We build their comic
An original story with them at the center - their real face on the cover, their city as the setting. A person checks every page before it ships.
Give the gift
A high-res PDF in your inbox - typically the same day, always within 24 hours. Print it, wrap it, or send it.

Before you start.
Is it too late to order a Valentine's Day gift on February 13?
No. Every comic is delivered as a PDF within 24 hours, usually the same day. Order on the thirteenth, print it at home or at a print shop on the fourteenth, or send the link with a note.
Is a comic book a good Valentine's gift for a boyfriend or husband?
It is one of the few romantic gifts a man keeps on display. He gets to laugh at himself drawn as the hero, and the real message gets through while he is laughing.
How fast is it?
Most comics are delivered the same day you order, and always within 24 hours. You get a high-resolution PDF by email, sized for printing at home or at any print shop.
What do you need from me?
Two or three clear photos of the person, a few details about them, and the occasion. The form takes a few minutes. The more specific the details, the more the story feels like them.
What if something is off?
Every comic includes one free revision, and there is a 14-day refund window. A person reviews every page before it is sent.
Is it really 26 pages?
Yes: a cover, a dedication page, 22 story pages, an epilogue and a back cover, with more than 50 individually composed panels. It is a full comic book, not a strip or a poster.
Also a good gift for...
Say it in fifty panels.
Both faces on the cover, your city on every page, the joke only you two get on page nine.
