It Took This Artist 15 Years To Marry The Love Of His Life And He Illustrated It In A Heartfelt Comic

Published 5 years ago

Jonathan Jui is an artist and the creator of an adorable series of parenting comics called “Baba’s field notes”. One of the reasons the artist creates his comics is so that one day his toddler can look back on them and remember all the things they experienced. In one of his recent comics, Jonathan decided to illustrate the 15-year long, movie-like story of how he met and married the love of his life.

“When I was 12, I met a girl named Tina. We were both in 8th grade and attending a school in Beijing, China,” explained the artist. “While it would be true to say “fifteen years later, I married my middle school sweetheart,” it would also be misleading because what love story is ever that simple?”

Believe it or not, Jonathan and Tina never dated the first fourteen years they’ve known each other. However, they managed to stay in touch through letters – five shoeboxes full of them. “I’ve never been one to believe in the idea of soulmates, but I have to say, waking up every morning next to my wife really makes me wonder whether I’m wrong,” says the artist. “So perhaps this isn’t a love story per se, but rather a story about Tina’s persistence and sheer awesomeness. Never give up on what you love… sometimes it just takes a while!”

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
