I’m currently working on some ideas for T-shirts and things. There’s already a Planet Karen mug available at my Cafepress store, but not much else yet.
One of the things I’m definitely going to do is a journal. I have a design I’m working on, but I noticed that an individual comic would fit nicely, so tell me (in comments here or on Facebook) which comic you’d like to see as a journal cover and I’ll do the favourite suggestion as a journal for a limited time.
I’d also be interested to hear what things you’d like to see Planet Karenized – preferably a thing that Cafe Press already does.




The first panel in this comic is fantastic!
I liked it enough to make an avatar out of it.
Mari should know better than to outthink you, Karen…too much creative talent to ‘draw’ from…
As for a comic to put on the journal…I like the one where it shows you becoming a hissing Gorgon with laser vision at the thought of someone hugging you…
An obvious choice would be PK Extra #1, but the one with the guitar on the roof is very cool, and the cranes-and-rain one and the autumn haiku are nice art-print style images.
Of course, there’s also #500.
“A Cask Of Honey”, “The Owl Portrait”, “A Descent Into The Hundred Acre Wood”? And yes, awesome first panel/avatar.
How about a mouse pad?
Also “The System of Dr. Tigger and Prof. Piglet”
This comic is full of win and whimsy. =^-^=
I’d like to see something other than just “PLANET KAREN”. Octobriana or Girlactus or a self-portrait or something.
As for covers of journals… remember the comic you did of you and Mari underground, with the arches and stonework? I believe you redrew it because you were unhappy with it… but that initial artwork of being underground… that would be a damn good journal cover design.
For journal covers, I like “Still Alive” Karen and laser-shooting-Gorgon Karen.
For Cafe Press stuff, I think little trinkets like magnets and stickers would be good. I mean, Dr. McNinja has magnets, why not Planet Karen?
A little late to nominate one, but when I read this, I thought of this strip, and just now ran across it re-reading your archive.

Of course http://planetkaren.co.uk/2008/01/02/01022008/ is good too.
pooh or poe?
1. those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.
2. it is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like “what about lunch?

Wasn’t it Owl’s house that fell down on a blustery day?
