The economist one has a couple really sweet drawings, even for a non-economist.

Uncannily enough, this one was what I said in my wedding vows to Shepherd. (Minus the Valentine's Day bit.)

Some pretty weird ones from Retronaut. Is it possible that the one about 2/3 the way down is a reference to Fletcher Hanks' Stardust?

Normally, the only links I refuse to click are those to medical abnormalities and particularly heinous sounding spider. But no way I'm clicking that Newt link.

Sorry to be That Person, but the Breaking Bad Valentines (round 1, round 2) were done by Beth/butthorn and were just reposted by Pleated Jeans. She also has some cute Arrested Development ones too, if you're into that.
