Heartwarming Illustrations Show That Love Is In The Small Things

Philippa Rice is a multi-talented artist who creates simple but beautiful comics about the everyday joys of living with someone you love. The title of her comic book, Soppy, is unapologetically fitting!

Rice forgoes the usual stuff like hearts and roses, going instead for the everyday ways we share love with our significant others – be it our morning routines, a hug and a snuggle, or finishing the day in each others’ arms. If you love these pictures as much as we do, be sure to check out Puuung’s illustrations as well!

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

Actually my ex and I once assembled Ikea furniture together. That went okay. It was very much fun actually. Ikea is peanuts. Just follow the instrunctions and it's childs play. Assembling Ikea furniture was the only fun and good thing in our short lived marriage. :/

agreed.. it should read "not killing each other when assembling ikea furniture together" Same goes for laminate flooring. I am very proud of the fact that not only did I not kill him while doing the flooring, but our marriage survived intact as well.....

...ummmm, yeah! So true. IKEA furniture should only be assembled with bullet proof vests on and a whole lot of alcohol at the ready...and should end with nothing getting done and a whole lot of sex. At least that's how we assemble furniture.
