Animal Love from 1963

Yes, these valentines from first grade (1963) kept things on a subhuman level.

This one confuses me.  Generally I don't associate being cuckoo with being "ho-hum" drowsy ... unless the crazy bird has been doped up by the headshrinkers.

This one recalls the memory that violins used to be strung with "catgut."  So, Is this cool cat serenading YOU by playing music on the eviscerated GUTS of his last girlfriend?

Whatta buncha animals!

See you Monday!

  

Welcome Back to MY SIXTIES VALENTINE!

Yup, we're gonna have another February filled with actual Valentines I received for 1962 and 1963, when I was in Kindergarten and First Grade.

These are from 1963.  The middle one is front-and-back of a single card.

The one above didn't come from a first-grade classmate, but from the big sis of my best friend, Tom Hefner.  I guess Pam was forced into it, although I DO have proof elsewhere that Pam didn't totally hate me, if I can ever find the comic-book proof.

Remember, in the Sixties, such images were one hundred percent innocent.  So no butter jokes or remarks about being stacked ...

See ya Thursday, fellow nostalgians!
