Rejected Valentine’s Day 2008

Unfortunately, my Wacom tablet broke before I could finish these cards. That leaves us with the admittedly shoddy mockups that I made early on. As if that’s not janky enough, I decided to go ahead and just take pictures of them with a camera instead of scanning them.

But hey, it’s the content that matters, not the presentation, right?

UPDATE: Help me buy a new Wacom Tablet by buying the one of a kind original cards here.

If you enjoy these, keep an eye out for better quality, new cards, and printable versions in the near future.

  2. Ken:

  3. Eol Ruin:

    Nice selection. Well done.

  4. Linny:

    Unbelievably cool.

    I am sharing this site with all my funny friends…because the boring ones are all too alone to be amused.

  5. V:

    Fabulous! Simply fabulous! I would buy every single one! :)

  6. Dakota:

    Really amazing! The A B diagram was by far the best.

  7. arman:

    thats funny

  8. Gat:

    Very cynical, but refreshingly real…

  9. Mimsie:

    Love it. I can think of at least 10 people who would’ve sent them to me!!!

  10. Jay:

    Cool!!!
    LOVE them.:)

  11. Habadasher:

    Sheer brilliance, hope you get your problems sorted out..
    Not that I care, I just wanna download your stuff

  12. Brittney:

    These are great. I may steal some of these one day…

  13. Nygan:

    The “lets stay friends” one is awsome !

  14. Pilcho:

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
    These cards are a real treasure!

  15. Rachel:

    brilliant! i would definately buy them!!

  16. Garath:

    A couple are funny…the rest are just mean spirited.

  17. vixen1178:

    i loved them i can think of a few people i would want to send them too i think the someone somewhere thinks your special is my fav

  18. roman:

    If only you ever faced a similar situation would you realise the pain of it…

    Well,
    They’re pretty funny anyhow.
    Just a little too mean for my liking.

  19. Peer:

    These concepts are negative and cruel. Why would you go through the trouble of sending such a card if you have no feelings for that person. It’s an ego-trip

  20. Ehdom:

    In regards to Peer’s comment, I’m afraid this is the kind of situation where explaining the joke kills it. I’ll just leave it at the fact that these aren’t intended to actually be sent to people.

    It’s socioeconomic commentary. Or just a form of persiflage. Take your pick, but please don’t so quickly infer the intent a creator from such a small project.

    And damn it, I killed it.

  21. Kellyg:

    The ignorant one has to spoil everything…thanks Peer.

  22. blankshooting:

    i loved the ’sorry about the mixed signals’ card - the clincher are the mutually exclusive venns inside the card. awesome!

  23. ncki:

    love ‘em.. Nice work.. gonna have a bitta fun next valentines day ;)

  24. Brenden:

    I WISH I thought of these first. They’re hilarious. The best by far was the little man walking alone, in the dark, in the rain. Brilliant.

  25. Eimear:

    never mind the naysayers, they just dont get it.if i sent them to my husband and friends they would crack up.

  26. friedlinx:

    Oh yeah they’re great….until you get one.

  27. mouse53:

    There is a market for everything. You have shown what many are really thinking. Nothing wrong with that. Negative remarks are usually from people afraid to say what they truly are feeling. Cut to the chase, end the suffering.

  28. stayaway:

    i like this pic

  29. rahul:

    this an good idea , going to try this next valentine :)

  30. Noelle:

    hahaha, I love these. great work.

  31. bookpiggy:

    love it! you must publish them

  32. Mirna:

    You should sell these on http://www.etsy.com
    I bet you would make some real money, really fast!

  33. Phillip:

    Ouch. Harsh.

  34. John G:

    I love the cards and would like to thank you; but buying you a drink over the Internet would leave no chance for getting laid.

  35. V:

    These are great! I have a friend that can use the ‘Sorry it didn’t work out’ card. There is just no nice way of telling someone that the consistent in their life is them! Great work!

  36. Tash:

    Cute. But, OUCH! I have a couple people in mind I want to give these to…

  37. Phreqd:

    If these cards were available when I was in high school and college trying to date women, I would have been mailed most of these!….

    :(

  38. Claudia:

    Amazing and unfortunatly truly

  39. William:

    “You can do anything…as long as it involves failing” is priceless.
    And the A B diagram card is too funny.

  40. dc:

    everyone says the A-B diagram one is best. it could be if only it said WERE instead of WAS.
    since it doesn’t, either “dying inside” or “settling” is the best.

  41. sir jorge:

    these are all genius, genius i tell ya!

  42. ley:

    really truly original…..
    couldnt stop laughing

  43. Robert:

    photoshopped…lol

  44. Keith:

    Does consider buying a drink, no doubt. Great artistic skills and a story to tell.

  45. Hashim:

    LOL all I can say that people waste lots of time in these V day thing, make every day a V day and spread love :) Oh and yes good sketch work there!

  46. Jemma:

    Love it!!

  47. Amon:

    There are so many of these cards I would have given to my ex-wife in the years leading up to our divorce… let’s face it, I’d still like to, but what’s the point now?! She’s someone else’s problem-WOO-HOO!!!

  48. miniclip:

  49. RobK:

    Excellent! Very cool!

  50. NicoleB:

    The ’sorry it didn’t work out’ and ‘perhaps your problems will go away’ cards are perfect for my ex-boyfriend!

  51. Grace:

    receive one…

  52. Acmac:
