“Love you to death” sounds romantic. If you mentally stop the sentence a little before the last word. Steven Rhodes, of course, does the opposite and takes the expression much more literally than romantic cards usually recommend. Love You to Death design combines classic retro illustration with dark humor and a love message that may be a touch more permanent than necessary. A Steven Rhodes T-shirt for fans who prefer romance with black humor and who aren’t frightened by a motif that takes turns a little too seriously. Love lasts forever. Apparently also after death. It’s either very sweet or a little worrying. Warning: If your date says “Love You to Death,” ask whether it’s a nickname or a threat. Steven Rhodes has a miserable track record with metaphors.
