If you're looking for more than one, I guess a few of my older doodles--like this one and this one--could make good Valentine's Day cards, too.

Happy Valentine's Day!
If you're still looking for the perfect Valentine's Day card to send (virtually, obviously) to your game-obsessed sweetie, here's a possibility:

'No matter what happens to you ...'
While we're on the topic of Final Fantasy's white mage, this androgynous character is the subject of a cute Valentine's Day card that's being sold by etsy seller kiracards.
The front of the card features the white mage's "perished" sprite and the following words: "No matter what happens to you..."
Flip it open and here's what you find:
My favorite aspect of this particular card is that it's appropriate for anyone. If you're a gay man and you want to give it to your same-sex sweetie, for instance, you imagine that the white mage is a guy. If you're a lesbian, on the other hand, you imagine that both the black and white mages are ladies. And if you're straight? Why, you imagine the white mage is a guy and the black mage is a gal (or the opposite, if you want), of course.
Who's to stop you?

Nintendo shows its hand (literally)
Nintendo of Japan will soon return to its roots by releasing a series of Mario-themed playing cards.
The Kyoto-based company, which began life (in 1889) as a producer of hanafuda cards, will start selling the "Mario Trump" cards in July for ¥1,050 (approximately $11.50) per set.
Three different designs will be available from the get-go: "Dot" (featuring Mario et al in sprite form), "standard" (Mario et al in hand-drawn form) and "neon" (Mario et al in 3D form).
For a closer look at each design, check out andriasang.com.

You kind of have to imagine the 'wakka wakka wakka' with these ...
I just came across the following image--of a Pac-Man Rub Off Game card from the early 80s--over at aeropause.com:
If my memory serves me correctly, cards like the one above were sold in packs along with "sticker cards" like these:
I know I collected these back in the day, but I'm pretty sure I later traded them for some Garbage Pail Kids.
