JIM BORGMAN
Valentine's Day kiss. Original illustration for the daily comic strip, Zits, published on Valentine's Day, 1999.

This is an original Zits daily comic strip by Jim Borgman, which was published on Valentine's Day 1999 (King Features Syndicate). Using only visual storytelling, the strip shows the teen-aged main character Jeremy give his girlfriend Sara a Valentine's gift, followed by their very different perspectives of the ensuing kiss. Relatively few originals of this strip have come up for sale over the years, and this is a particularly fun example.
