Crass Romantic Cards

This Hilarious Card Proves that Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

— November 4, 2014 — Lifestyle
This crass romantic card by Near Modern Disaster is a hilarious way to tell your long-distance love that you're thinking of them.

Instead of pining away for someone you don't have the luxury of seeing everyday (this might involve stalking their Instagram while simultaneously hugging a full-body pillow and maybe eating ice cream), why not show them that they're on your mind by sending them this heartfelt card? Okay, so "heartfelt" might be a bit of a stretch -- afterall, the card does read "I Miss Your Stupid Face" -- but I firmly believe that the recipient will feel the sentiment behind it. Their face may or may not be stupid, but at least there's someone out there who's aching to see it (you).

If your significant other has a sense of humor, they'll be sure to enjoy this hilarious card.
