Meet Jeff—My Homicidal Maniac Boyfriend!

by | Oct 5, 2012 | Blog

Jeff isn’t really evil.

He just looks that way because he was bitten by a rabid dog.

Sheldon Cooper as a Girl in 1969?

“A Kiss is Merely a Biological Phenomenon“ is not the oddest romance story I’ve ever read. Not by far! But it’s the only one that seems like a (bad) skit from TV’s The Big Bang Theory.

It first appeared in Charlton’s Career Girl Romances #49 back in 1969—way before being a nerd was cool.

As if being a nerd isn’t bad enough, the main character has the added handicap of being a girl. And, of course, she isn’t interested in love or sex because—well, she’s a brainy geek and much too smart for that nonsense.

She also seems to have no understanding of social graces or—as far as I can tell—human emotion. In short, if The Big Bang‘s Sheldon Cooper were hurled back to 1969 and turned into a girl—this would be her.
