The Best Geeky Valentine’s Day Cards

Just this morning I walked into the grocery store in groggy perusal of some form of caffeine, and in my half awake stupor I was assaulted by the color pink attacking me from all sides. In alarm I woke up immediately, realizing that the reason for all of this girliness was that in a mere two weeks is the exploitation of love for the masses – Valentine’s Day.

I know a lot of people aren’t fond of Valentine’s day, but I find myself enjoying it (as I do most holidays, because I’m essentially an old lady) because I get to give my friends weird geeky Valentine’s Day Cards. Most of the time I make them myself, but as proven by my complete unawareness of the moving of time, I don’t have near enough time this year to hand draw every friend a personalized card. So as awful as it makes me feel, I decided I would go to the mecca for all things geeky and handmade – Etsy.

Well, two hours later and here I am writing this article, blinking in sudden awareness. I was sucked into some sort of Geeky V-day Card vortex. It took hold of my brain like a parasitic alien and I just couldn’t… stop… clicking. But as I went through this plethora of sappy and silly greetings, I took note of the best geeky and comic book related ones – just for you, dear readers. That’s my Valentine Day’s gift to all of you.
