Cartoon me!
[illustration by Beto Alvarez, staff artist at the Philadelphia Inquirer]
This illustration of my husband and I is on the front page—above the fold!—of the Image section in the Philadelphia Inquirer today. It’s so funny to see cartoon versions of ourselves. Up top is a close-up of us, sitting on a park bench to indicate that we have finally achieved geographic nirvana, and below it is the illustration in context.
The reporter interviewed me because I wrote a guide to LDRs and because I’m a former LDP (long-distance partner). The topic: how the rising price of fuel is affecting long-distance love.
Here’s a link to the Inquirer piece, and one to a similar piece that was in the Washington Post two weekends ago. They did a good job of hitting the transportation puns—”An Airfare to Remember” and “The Toll on Long-Distance Love.”
