love is... - by Kim and Stefano Casali
recommended by kOssKy photo gallery
Kim Casali created Love Is¡ back in the late 1960's when she
drew the little pictures as love notes for her husband-to-be,
Roberto. Her illustrations were then revealed to the rest of the
world when they were first syndicated in 1970.
Since his mother's death in June 1997, Stefano Casali has
maintained his mother's legacy of the beloved comic panel.
Born in Wimbledon near London, Casali has spent most of his life
in the U.K. After graduation from university, he began a
full-time job at Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising in London where
he worked on Gillette, Hewlett-Packard and Samsung. Three years
later, he went from the sublime at Saatchis to the silly while
working on the McDonald's account at Leo Burnett in London.
After the death of his mother, he joined Minikim (named after
his mother) and assumed full control of Love Is... whilst
maintaining his advertising job in tandem. Since September 1999
he has been dedicated to the feature full-time, working with
artist Bill Asprey, who continues to draw the charming little
cartoons. Casali said, "It was a great change going from working
in big advertising companies to working for myself in a
considerably smaller operation, but I would not want to return
to the former for all the tea in China."
Today Love Is... is a favorite for millions of loyal readers
around the world.¡ñ
