Dont know if this is really on topic, but does anyone know where the "Cartoon" style heart comes from? I think Ive seen em on medieval heraldry and such, but could be wrong? Is there a documented origin of this widely used stylization? What culture does it come from originally? |

I think this site will help: History of the Heart
They list a few possible origins.  |
