Biography of Cartoonist Kim Casali: The Creation and History of the "Love is..." Comic



Stefano had made a career in advertising, working for Saatchi and Saatchi, and Leo Burnett, creating ads for Samsung, Gillette and McDonald's. While still employed as an ad executive, he dove into "Minikim," his mother's company, after her death. He left his job in 1999 to take full control of "Minikim."

As a ghost-cartoonist, Bill Asprey has drawn "Love is..." for almost 30 years. He also has his own syndicated comic strip, "Aphrodite," and a second strip taken from Roald Dahl's "Big Friendly Giant" book, called "BFG". It ran for 12 years in The Mail on Sunday in England.

"Love is..." is now undergoing modernization. The Tribune Media Service continues to publish it in over 100 newspapers, only 1/3 of which are in the United States. It is read in 34 countries and in 15 different languages. Traditional and modern "Love is..." panels can be found on merchandise such as toiletries, clothing, gift items, wedding invitations, mobile telephone covers and in books world-wide.
