Belly Full of Heart

by Madeline Mouse

A comic book ode to ooey-gooey homosexual lovers of the past, present, and future.

Like the rush of eating dessert before dinner or the tantalizing allure of itching a mosquito bite, Belly Full of Heart is a quick punch to the gut (romantically). Filled with illustrated vignettes of those moments where time slows and nothing exists except you and them, this collection covers topics such as being held, staying held, and squeezing the ones you love really hard. Read it beneath the blankets or gift it to the person who makes your heart pound.

"a comics for lovers of comic and lovers of love"

I love Silver Sprocket's fanzine-esque releases. This almost feels like it shouldn't be printed professionally.

It's a bunch of loosely connected vignettes around love in all its forms. It's cute as hell, and weird as hell some times. But mostly it's gorgeous.

I forgor to rate this when I first read it but it’s so so so lovely!!! ;-; The illustrations are absolutely stunning. ✨ I wish I could live in there fr. Very cute, very sweet, very gay!! 🙂‍↕️💖

P.S. When I first spotted this book at my local bookstore, it opened to a spread where pomegranates are mentioned, which was truly the second I knew I had to have this sweet little book. ;-;
