It’s not often I talk about relationships. Not really my forte – we’ve mentioned relationships before on the site, and even the birds and the bees. But what about the step after that?

Say you find someone whom you love and feel a kinship with. You move in with that person.

What next?

Well, one artist is celebrating the mundane of a relationship. From cooking, to not cooking and getting pizza, to sleeping. There are a number of weird and mundane tasks that mean the world to people. Philippa Rice has given us an insight, through the use of a comic series called “Soppy”, of her relationship with her boyfriend Luke Pearson. Check some of them out below:
