Dear Interwebs,
It has recently come to my attention that some of you have confused Karen Healey (that would be me) with Karen Ellis (that would be the creator of Planet Karen). Some people seem to believe we are actually the same person, which is either inaccurate, or a really nefarious plot for world domination that requires one person with two bodies on opposite sides of the globe.
And it is certainly not the second! That’s crazy talk, which only miscontents and ne’er-do-wells would even contemplate believing for a single foolish second!
So it has to be the first, which is not only far more likely than that scurrilous rumour about cloning in a secret laboratory, but is also an understandable mistake with two young white women publishing online under the umbrella of the same organization with identical first names and similar surnames, it’s no wonder that people mix us up.
To assist you in your confusion, which owes absolutely nothing to those mysterious tales of a black-hearted mage, I have prepared a helpful chart.
Karen Ellis Karen Healey
Karen El’Lives in Bristol, England. Lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Publishes a daily comic, Planet Karen. Publishes a weekly-ish column, Girls Read Comics (And They’re Pissed).
Has black hair. Has red hair.
Occasionally channels unibrowed Russian giant Octobriana. Occasionally channels hyperactive American superhero Misfit.
Is a talented artist. Once drew a stick figure with both legs the same length.
Is diabetic, and restricts her sugar intake. Is licking cream cheese icing off a spoon right now.
Dresses Goth. Is wearing pink pyjamas.
Is not at all a doppelganger from the frightening world of Mirror. Isn’t either!
So there you have it! Not at all the same person. Try to keep this in mind: when our demonic armies roll inexorably over the screaming earth, there may well be a test.
