Soppy by Philippa Rice

David Parker February 10, 2015

True love not twee love brought to life in Soppy by Philippa Rice

Artist, illustrator and crocheter Philippa Rice has turned her life into a comic that celebrates the sweet, everyday world she shares with her illustrator boyfriend, Luke Pearson.

In a palette of red, white and black, the cartoon duo (both with raven dark hair and rosy red cheeks) do the washing up, head to the shops, snuggle on the sofa and squabble about who should answer the door. There are no grand sweep-you-off-your-feet gestures here, just small, heartwarming moments: “If I got zombied would you shoot me? No. I’d let you bite me.”

Now that sounds like true love. 

Have a look through our gallery of pictures from Soppy by Philippa Rice (Square Peg, £10.99).

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
