 Sir
Lancelot and Lady Guinevere
"No moon or star was shining and no candle or lamp was
burning within the house when Lancelot tiptoed to the window.
Guinevere, clad only in a white chemise and short cape, waited
behind the bars at the window. Drawing close to one another,
they held hands, he desirous of her and she of him."
— adapted from the romantic verse by Chretien of Troyes.

Cartoons Count Too!

Classic
cartoons mimic real life, even when it comes to romance. Here's
a trip down memory lane with a look at some unforgettable
cartoon love affairs.
• Betty
Boop and Bimbo: This couple gave a whole new meaning
to interracial relationships. Bimbo was Betty's steady beau,
but he was actually a dog character! The reason for this?
Betty started out as a dog herself before the creator decided
to make her human.
• Mickey
and Minnie: They say, after awhile, couples begin
to look alike . Well, the opposite is true for this couple.
In the early cartoons they looked exactly alike, except for
Minnie's hair bow. In later cartoons, the two became much
more distinguishable.
• Blondie
and Dagwood: As America's sweethearts, these two blended
love with humor. In fact, in 1939, Columbia Pictures made
them into a movie, starring Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake
as Blondie and Dagwood.
• Ken
and Barbie: OK, so they're dolls. But some might think
they're just as cute. Ken and Barbie have a near-perfect relationship,
owning just about everything a couple could ever want.
• Donald
and Daisy:
Hey, if Mickey and Minnie made it onto the list, these two
deserve a cameo as well.
• Archie
and Betty (or is it Archie and Veronica?): This threesome
has kept American comic readers intrigued with a fresh love
triangle in almost every issue. So which is it — Betty
or Veronica? The answer could just solve the age-old question
of who has more fun — blondes or brunettes? |
