It's Valentine's Day, and if you're anything like me, you're single because you watch too many cartoons to be taken seriously by the opposite sex. There's no shame in that. Anyway, I thought I'd provide you all with a list of my top ten favorite Disney couples, those who make me think that romance is possible. So, here we go, in no particular order...
10. Milo Thatch and Kidagakash Nedakh (Gesundheit!) a.k.a Princess Kida (Atlantis: The Lost Empire)
He's a nerd, she's an immortal warrior princess. Yeah, they're making the list.
9. Jumbaa and Pleakley (Lilo and Stitch)
Now, the the Disney Wiki lists these two as "best friends". Suuuuure. They bicker like an old marry couple, and each one thinks it's his turn to wear the dress because the other has warn it enough already. Now, I'm not implying anything, but they do live in Hawaii....
8. Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)
My goodness, these two are so cute. The love story in this movie is just so Shakespearean at times. They fall in love with a stranger even though they're already betrothed, and neither one realizes that they're betrothed to the person they just met.
7. Aladdin and Jasmine (Aladdin)
Attractive, adventurous, and quick enough to know when the other is lying to some sap and then starts playing along brilliantly.
6. Goliath and Elisa Maza (Gargoyles)
Oh, please, if you've read any previous article on this blog, then you should have known this was coming. Of COURSE I'm going to include these two. I think what I like best about their relationship is that, probably more so than any other Disney couple, these two would argue. A LOT. Goliath is awful stubborn ("I think your head stays rock hard even at night."), though, to be fair, Elisa doesn't always like to admit she's wrong either. Still, at the end of the day, er... night... whatever, these two don't let disagreements get in the way of their relationship.
5. Hercules and Megara (Hercules)
Herc and Meg are basically the Disney equivalent of Superman and Lois Lane. He's the good-natured farmboy who happens to be a demigod, and she's the sassy, sarcastic cynic who still deep down does the right thing.
4. Buzz Lightyear and Jessie The Yodeling Cowgirl (The Toy Story Franchise)
Two words- "Spanish Mode".
3. Jack Skellington and Sally (Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas)
People love creepy yet cute couples. It's the Gomez/ Morticia Syndrome.
2. Mr. and Mrs. Incredible (The Incredibles)
As a long time comics fan, I love superhero couples. However, as a long time comics fan, I'm inevitably disappointed, as both Marvel and DC seem to think that, despite the average comics reader being an adult, most people can't relate to the idea of a hero or heroine being married and raising a family, so they undo them, often in a ridiculous manner that insults the fans' intelligence ("One More Day" and "Brand New Day", I'm looking at you). Pixar proved that notion wrong, as The Incredibles is regarded as one of that studio's best films to date.
1. Donald and Daisy Duck
Well, it's fortunate that they already have the same last name, so they don't have to change their stationary if and when Donald finally pops the question (come on, it's been nearly seven decades!). Seriously, though, these two are cuter than Mickey and Minnie, because while those two are just too cute and sweet, Donald and Daisy, like others on this list, love each other despite their glaring and noticeable personality flaws. Donald is arrogant and short-tempered, and Daisy can be a bit fussy and opinionated. Still, they love each other so much that they try to be better for the sake of the other, and they forgive each other when they falter. (At this point, you should be humming "Fixer Upper" from the Frozen soundtrack).

Girls' Love, The Finale!
Between this series and the Superman comics, I am convinced that DC is obsessed with incest.
Well, it took them over a decade and 150 issues, but they finally put an African-American on the cover. Also, my first thought with this cover was, "Maybe they should just love each other? That'd be hot! Rrooowrr...."
"Is the reception still on?"
"Well, I guess I can take the toaster back..."
"Hmm, I bet I can still make it home in time to watch the game...."
Yeah, that biker looks tough. Nothing says "badass" like a lavender shirt.
Man, can those two make out or what? It takes a lot of discipline to continue frenching when you have a screaming child pulling your hair.
Would she rather he had guessed correctly? Also, how on earth did that sweater pass the Comics Code Authority? Moonshiners don't sport jugs that big!
STILL More Girls' Love Comics
You don't want him in THAT jacket, at least.
"Hey, maybe you should draw an actual beach?"
"Feh! Beaches are hard!"
Guys, I think we've all been there at least once.
Because promiscuous tramps need some time on the cover too.
From the waist up, she's a normal girl. From the waist down, she's ready to fight the orcs and goblins.
I think the answer to that question rests in large part on whether or not she'll keep the mask on after marriage.

More Girls' Love
Yeah, that's a great plan. I once pretended to have a stroke to get free cheesecake.
To answer her question, it's because she's a woman, am I right fellas? ... I'll get me coat. (Ladies, please feel free to leave any hate mail as a comment.)
Dude, your standards are too high. I personally don't care how many exes a girl has, but then, we've established that I have no pride.
Does Hulk Hogan know she has his feather boa?
Here's another guy who should be happy with what he's got. Jeez.
Oh, that poor little redhead! If I was 16 again, I'd ask her out. Or, perhaps more accurately, I'd cast nervous glances in her direction until I tried to speak, blurt out something awkward, then run away crying.

Girls' Love Comics, Part Whatever It Is We're Up To.
Hey, it's Pearl Forrester!
Heaven forbid the groom mingle with the guests. When I was merely an usher at my brother's wedding, I was told in no uncertain terms to fraternize with people I'd never met before or since.
See? Another sultry stewardess! Every romance comic!
He's right there! Behind you! This lady makes people in the Superman universe seem insightful and observant.
"If she really loved you, it would be easy for her to let you go." Sound logic there, if you're a robot.
Well, it's your own damn fault for letting his ex be in the bridal party.
I'd like to point out that this is the SECOND comic in this series that has focused on the tawdry love life of a drive-in restaurant roller waitress.
Check out the Frank and Dean cameo. They don't even draw attention to it on the cover. It's just BAM! Rat Pack.

Girls Love Comics, Boys Love Football
Let's see... Dark hair, dark clothes, arched eyebrows; I'm betting the lady in purple is a lying, manipulative villain in this story.
I love how there's literally no context for this one. The lady in orange just storms in and acts mean. For fun, take her taunt and replace "try on my wedding dress" with something else and say it to someone. "Go ahead and have some of my three-bean casserole; you'll never have one of your own!!!"
You know why they call a queen's staff a sceptre? Because everyone gets love 'cept her! ... I just realized that joke doesn't really work in a printed medium.
Do people really make out underwater?
"Stupid snow! I hate you!!!"
The moon has been known to call bowling alleys and ask if they have 10lb balls.
I've learned from experience that you should, at the very least, be absolutely certain you know the woman before you start smelling her hair.
See? More underwater smooching! I'm missing out!!!

Girls' Love Comics? Sounds sexy....
Love is kinda like me in that regard. Zing! ... :(
Heartbreak- Sonic's got it!
What is up with her posture? Her hand says she's trying to follow him, but the rest suggests she's leaning or swooning or something. Or maybe the orangeness of his pants has caused an inner ear disorder....
Going by the color of his pants and his dainty kerchief, I'm betting both of those ladies are snooping around the wrong haystack, if ye catch me drift.
Golden Age Green Lantern is a playa!
But she still has the negatives....
"I'll... I'll just wait by the door with your coat, then dear."
And as she waited for the bus that would take her on a one-way trip to Lonelyville, she wondered- "Did I leave the iron on?"

"And remember- Nothing says 'Good Job' like a firm, open-palmed slap on the behind!"
Here are some more Career Girl Romances. Enjoy!
I'd need to do more research, but I think every romance comic ever has at least one sultry stewardess story.
Because nothing says "romance" like creepy farmer (?) voyeurism.
Typical liberal media jackals!
I think Disney owes Charlton comics some Hannah Montana royalties....
Honestly, at this point I think they were just picking careers out of a hat for their "From two different worlds" stories. Rejected pairings include firefighter/ account, professional wrestler/ sewage treatment worker, and supermodel/ comic book writer.
Wait, he's like her dad, and she wants to "kiss him for kicks"? Ew.
