Fans waiting with bated breath for the return of HBOs Game of Thrones may have some momentary Valentine's Day relief, as Chris Bishop has made nine Game of Thrones-themed cards for the mushiest day of the year.
Each card features a main character of the show with a quip poking fun at that character. From the brooding stoicism of Ned Stark to the introspective angst of Jon Snow, not one characteristic is left in the dark.
His visual interpretations are equally as astute. The characters maintain their essential qualities despite their cartoon transformations -- Bishop is, after all, an illustrator for PBS Kids. His Valentine's Day cards though are intended for mature audiences.
If your special someone is a Game of Thrones fan, these mementos are the clear choice above the run-of-the-mill Hallmark card.
