Even the protagonists of the cartoons fall in love.
All we know for sure watching Lili and the Tramp kiss while sharing a plate of spaghetti with meatballs (after all, is there in the world a girl who does not suffer the charm of a rebel?).
But did you know that they also celebrate Valentine's Day?
Everyone in their own way, often absurd or clumsy, celebrates February 14th.
There are those who exchange sweet greeting cards as in The Simpsons and those who ask the friend scientist a love potion to get a classmate as in Rick and Morty.
Here are the sweetest and most memorable episodes dedicated to Valentine's Day from cartoons in recent years.
The Simpsons
Episode: "I Love Lisa" - S4E15
Everyone received a Valentine's card, all except Ralph Winchester.
Lisa then decides to give him one with the dedication "I Choo-Choo-Choose You" not to make him feel alone and so ends, in spite of herself, with becoming the boy's first girlfriend.
Many years later Al Jean, the executive producer of "The Simpson", told Stuff.co.nz how the idea of that iconic Valentine's day was born:
"It was from a girl in my class and she had handwritten 'I really do choo-choo-choose you'. The fact that it is now the most famous Valentine in history flabbergasts me. I'm amazed and honoured at its status. After the episode first aired, I actually heard from a third-grade college mate of mine who said he'd remembered that Valentine card."
SpongeBob Squarepants
