This Artist Captured Her Relationship Joys In 22 Heartwarming Illustrations
Philippa Rice is a multi-talented artist who creates simple but beautiful comics about the everyday joys of living with someone you love. The title of her comic book, Soppy, is unapologetically fitting!
Rice forgoes the usual stuff like hearts and roses, going instead for the everyday ways we share the love with our significant others – be it our morning routines, a hug, and a snuggle, or finishing the day in each others’ arms. If you love these pictures as much as we do, be sure to check out Puuung’s illustrations as well!
To learn more about Philippa and her artwork, Bored Panda reached out to her. Read the full interview below.

True Love Means Putting Everything Aside Just To Hug
Yes! A newly instituted rule between my partner and I is that when we come home, we stop what we're doing (within reason!) and greet each other with a hug. This was a rough winter - a lot of outside stress and anger triggers - and we psychically dumped it on each other. So I said - enough - from now on, we greet each other with a hug.
