True Love: The Sequel

Premise here is photos are taken and arranged in story with cartoon-like dialogue. There are three stories, each one involving love/romance. The stories are deliberately corny and fake, which makes them kinda charming in a strange sort of way. The tales – like the one in which a guy’s roommate sabotages his date, or the one in which a guy is dating two girls on the same night and is found out – seem to be commenting on the state of the romance narrative in pop culture, implicitly referencing everything from Archie to Three’s Company to the Harlequin. Maybe I’m reading too much into this. (Hal Niedzviecki)
