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.

    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. If we've had a ad day, a hug from a loved one makes it better. If we've had a good day, a hug from a loved one makes it fantastic.

    Grocery shopping is a chore I LOATHE and had trouble doing during the pandemic (I became easily overwhelmed by crowds) but with my husband there, it feels much better. I can enjoy it when he's with me.

    Oh I WISH it was like that! My boyfriend is not allowed anywhere NEAR the assembly area because his clumsiness is too unpredictable!

    My partner finally took me to his favorite pizza place. I really wanted a glass of milk, AND THEY GAVE ME ONE. 10/10 it's our restaurant now.
