Planet Karen - Synopsis

Synopsis

The comic shows bits and pieces of Karen's life. It began on March 1, 2006 as a printed mini-comic sold through local distribution channels, and later also became available in the webcomic format. During the second half of 2006 the author dropped the print-run entirely because the comic turned out to be much more successful on the internet.

In the comic, we get to see typical slice-of-life situations of a young single female artist (Karen).

Regular themes are the author's relation to others, her friends and romantic interests, her struggles with work, her landlord and her surroundings, failing electronic devices, psychological issues, and how she reacts to and interacts with all these people, things and occurrences. The creation and drawing of the comic itself is also a frequent recurring theme and since the comic is in diary style the author directly addresses her diary and the reader regularly and no consistent fourth wall is maintained.
