A checkbox Valentine

Given the success of our notorious checkbox cards, it was surely only a matter of time before management would demand a checkbox Valentine. And now that time has come. Mind you, I’m not sure they were expecting the result to feature wild pigs, but I am arguing that we have a lucrative opportunity here to fill an empty market niche.
The illustration (like that of our “Peruvian llama” birthday card), is taken from that excellent seventeenth-century compendium, Edward Topsel, The History of Four-footed Beasts and Serpents (London, 1658).
