I’ll have to try the facial scrub recipe.

2. Adina said, on August 19th, 2008:

That definitely helped me start my day with a smile. Thanks Karen
3. Julia said, on August 19th, 2008:

you crack me up! so cute!
4. PJ said, on August 19th, 2008:

Too cute! and that’s exactly what’s happening to me *everyday*, at 4:00am sharp D:

I’ll try the facial scrub, thanks for the recipe! But I can feed milk to my kitty, I think she’s lactose intolerant D:
5. nyspender said, on August 19th, 2008:

This is me EVERY NIGHT! My cat, Bullitt, wakes up at 4 or 5 AM and he feels I should be up too, so he comes and does whatever it takes to wake me up (licks my face, chews on my hair, bites my nose) Beauty sleep is a thing of the past for me… thank goodness for makeup!
6. Dao said, on August 19th, 2008:

This is so cute! Marvel comics need to enlist you to their team. Or maybe DC, so you can be close to Batman

I did not realize Tabs is such a big cat. He’s as big as your upper body. Who took all of the pictures? The close-up of Tabs is adorable. And btw, how can a cat be in a dog house? That’s just a rhetoric question, you don’t need to answer
7. Elle said, on August 19th, 2008:

This was such a cute start to my day Tabs is too cute–love the sleeping picture of you two! Glad you got your sleep, Karen!
8. cloudburst said, on August 19th, 2008:

I love your kitty he’s so cute!
9. Alyssa said, on August 19th, 2008:

Awwwww…what a great way to start my day! Tabs is a cutie, makes me wish I wasn’t allergic to cats
10. Megan said, on August 19th, 2008:

LOL too cute Karen…Yeah I’m so not a milk girl…I can only get down skim milk…and then it’s not that often. I do eat my yogurt though. I think I probably should pick up some viactiv chews…I used to take them, but i’ve gotten lax about it.
11. melissa said, on August 19th, 2008:

Karen, this is the coolest thing evar!!!! and you even have milk beauty tips!

Thank you for making my morning brighter Karen. I SO NEED it today!
12. Anna said, on August 19th, 2008:

Awwwwww, Karen thats sooo cute !!!

Love the milk tips too ! Oh if you can get it Pearl powder and a teaspoon of milk is a fab mask to brighten your complexion and ease redness of the skin and spots.
13. Brittany said, on August 19th, 2008:

lol, that made my smile.
I feel your pain, on occasion my cat likes to be obnoxious (like at 4 o’clock this morning) and he jumps up on my bed and runs across the top of my pillow. Occasionally he’ll just plop down on my head. It’s pretty ridiculous and drives my BF nuts.
14. Elena said, on August 19th, 2008:

Karen!

That cat is too cute! I love the story. I’m lactose-intolerant, so I can’t enjoy too many of the tips, but it’s a fun read nonetheless. I don’t have a cat, but my family has a dog and, whenever I visit, she pretty much does the same thing until I tuck her into bed with me (lol) so I’m with you on the sleep thing.

Have you guys officially adopted Tabs yet?
15. Jess said, on August 19th, 2008:

Tabs is a cute cat! Give him a big hug for me, Karen.

My mom used to do milk baths all the time when I was a kid. I just realized I haven’t had one in years. Yippee! I have something to look forward to treating myself tonight.
16. Glosslizard said, on August 19th, 2008:

Girl, you are brilliant!

You should totes sell that to the Dairy Council and collect a hefty sum! Convert milk into Chanel (talk about a cash cow — yuk yuk)!
17. hazeldazel said, on August 19th, 2008:

awww, so cute! Watch out though, he might figure out that waking up Karen = yummy treats!
18. Nell said, on August 19th, 2008:

You are great! I really enjoyed that. And I love your cat!
19. Josay said, on August 19th, 2008:

This story happen to me all the time !!!

I very enjoy your “kind of” cartoon … which program to you use to do this?

Have a good beauty sleep lol
20. Tekoa said, on August 19th, 2008:

Favorite. Post. Ever. You and Tabs get the award for ultimate cute coolness.

Luna interupts my beauty sleep by dragging a shoe string around my room and “MmrrrMmrrrr”-ing loudly. She wants me to wake up and play fetch.
21. kia said, on August 19th, 2008:

cute story!! these days i haven’t been getting good sleep at all. i need to hit the track and try some(chocolate) milke before bed =(

22. Tanya said, on August 19th, 2008:

*gigglefits*
This was ADORABLE, WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, truth be told, I’m not a cat person but Tabs got it goin’ on
23. Karen B said, on August 19th, 2008:

I have heard of milk with almond oil as a cleanser and I think that’s the only way I’ll get milk near me. I don’t drink milk, haven’t done so for over two years for my voice. It causes a lot of slime on my vocal chords which is a big no-no for singing classes and my college (I follow English and Music and have a lot of choir classes and stuff). I do drink soy chocolate milk with extra calcium to get my protein fix.

Hi Eru,

Big hugs back! How is your second book going in the Twilight series?
25. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Adina,

Aww… glad to hear that. Have a great day!
26. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Julia,

Thanks! Really, Tabs is the mastermind.
27. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi PJ,

What’s your kitty’s name? And what does she look like? LOL, I sound like I’m trolling for a date for Tabs.
28. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Nyspender,

That’s so cute… I bet it’s not cute at 5 am, but nonetheless, really cute. Does he ever bite your chin? Tabs is quite fond of that.
29. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Dao,

Yah, he’s a good 10 pounds and like 85% stomach. The vet says he doesn’t need to lose weight though. He’s just a husky boy!

Hope you’re enjoying your day.
30. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Elle,

Thanks! He’s quite the lil’ monster at night, but because he’s cute he sure gets away with a lot.
31. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Cloudburst,

Thank you. Hope you’re having a good day!
32. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks! Even though you are allergic to cats, do you have any other pets?
33. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Megan,

Me too! I have an old box sitting in the cupboard somewhere. Speaking of Vitamins — it’s time for some Emergen-C! I gotta thank you for introducing that into my life. I really feel like they make a difference in my energy level.
34. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Melissa,

You’re welcome! I hope your day has been going well and that you’re smiling.
35. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Anna,

Great tip! Where you usually buy Pearl powder?
36. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Brittany,

LOL! Crazy kitties! Why do they always want to party at the most inopportune times?
37. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Elena,

That’s so cute that you tuck your dog in… awww! I grew up with dogs and I miss having one. Well, we haven’t officially adopted Tabs… yet. He still is over morning, noon and night, so he’s still practically my cat. The vet told me that he doesn’t have a microchip so when I take him back for booster shots in a few weeks hopefully I can get him chipped then!
38. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Jess,

Tabs gives you big kitty hugs back. Enjoy your milk bath. Sounds like it’s going to relaxing!
39. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Glosslizard,

HA! You crack me up.
40. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Hazeldazel,

LOL, oh boy! I hope he doesn’t put two and two together…
41. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Nell,

Thanks! Tabs would like to take full credit for the comic.
42. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Tekoa,

Aww, I was wondering how Luna was doing. Is she helping with the wedding planning?
43. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Kia,

Oh no! I feel your insomnia pain. Do you drink coffee? For me it helps to not drink caffeine after a certain time…
44. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Tanya,

Funny thing is I’m not either! Tabs has turned me into one!
45. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Karen B.,

That’s interesting. I know singers always have interesting drink concoctions… my voice teacher had this weird one with some stinky herb that she swore was the greatest stuff ever. I can’t remember the herb but I tried to drink it once and I just couldn’t because it smelled like stinky socks.
46. ponikuta said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hey Karen,

I am testing out this comment and Tabs is so cute !!

xoxo
47. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Ponikuta!

YAY! It worked.
48. Lehea said, on August 19th, 2008:

That is too funny and cute! I drink Lucerne 2% too. Hehe!
49. Karen said, on August 19th, 2008:

Hi Lehea,

Thanks. You got an eagle eye, girl!
50. Tiera said, on August 19th, 2008:

Despite the loss of sleep, it looks like you had fun anyway! I hope you didn’t have to wake up the DH to snap the photos!
51. rita said, on August 19th, 2008:

thanks for making my day a little better! I hope you do something like this more often, I loved it
52. ParisB said, on August 19th, 2008:

LOL… I love this comic and the way you slipped the milk recipes into it. I’m not into cats but Tabs is pretty cute too!
53. lindsay said, on August 19th, 2008:

YOUR COMIC IS JUST TOO CUTE!
54. jeannie said, on August 19th, 2008:

you are too cute.
55. Ditte said, on August 20th, 2008:

That’s cute
My cat, Fart, does the same every night – not so cute. At just about 3 am. 2 hours before my alarm clock goes off – and I barely fall asleep again before that happens. So he’s eternally in the doghouse
56. Heidi said, on August 20th, 2008:

that was really adorable. Your blog always makes my day. <3
57. Karen B said, on August 20th, 2008:

Lol. It’s not concotions for me but just being careful what I eat/drink. vocal hygiëne is important to me as it does make a BIG difference. There are singers for whom it hardly matters but unfortunatly I’m not one of them. So no coffee (don’t like it anyways), no milk, limit soda (anything sparkling really) and alcohol (I just don’t drink it at all) and I should hold off the chocolate which is very bad for your voice but I refuse to give that up. lol. Even I have my limits

Hi Karen

You can get pearl powder in chinese herbal medicine stores and I think online too.
59. Tiffany said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hey Karen!

LOL, this cracked me up Love it!
60. nyspender said, on August 20th, 2008:

Karen,
oh yes, he bites my chin! He also bites it when we’re cuddling. I understand they’re showing their affection, but man it hurts sometime!
61. Lydia said, on August 20th, 2008:

ahaha that was so cute!
62. Jessica F. said, on August 20th, 2008:

You do not disappoint … EVER!

After a long day, a pulled muscle, and an inexplicable 3lb weight gain, you brought tears of laughter to my eyes.

Thank you! I needed that more than you can imagine.
63. Marisol said, on August 20th, 2008:

OMG… I can’t stop laughing. You are informative and funny.

Awww, how cute! Tabby obviously knows the benefits of milk!

65. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Tiera,

Oh, Tabs has his way of getting his pictures! Sneaky cat!
66. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi ParisB.,

Thank ya! The funny thing is, I’m not really a cat person either. Tabs has proven to be a very special feline.
67. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Lindsay,

Thank you!
68. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Jeannie,

Aw, thanks girlie!
69. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Ditte,

Oh boy! What a naughty kitty. Why do they always want to party at the most inopportune times?
70. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Heidi,

Thank you for that lovely compliment, girlie. *You* just made my day!
71. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Karen B.,

LOL, chocolate is a lot to ask to give up. I don’t think I could let that one go, either!
72. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Anna,

Oh good! Next time I go to Chinatown I will go looking for it. Thanks!
73. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Tiffany,

Thank you! Glad to have made ya laugh!
74. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Nyspender,

Ha, Tabs does the same thing but with my hand and my wrist. Another funny thing he does is that he likes to chase pant legs. He doesn’t really understand the concept of pants. It’s really funny!
75. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Lydia,

Thank you!
76. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Jessica F.,

Oh, sweetie! Glad to know that it cheered you up. Take care of that muscle (I so feel your pain), and I hope you feel better soon!
77. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Marisol,

LOL, it was all Tabs’ doing! He was truly the mastermind.
78. Karen said, on August 20th, 2008:

Hi Betsy,

Thanks! Yes, he does. He just loves it!
79. Lilan said, on August 20th, 2008:

So cute, Karen – I love the comic! Uber creative as usual and helps me get through the late night with a smile.. maybe it’s time for warm milk for me in order to get to bed!

Tomorrow is Thursday and I can’t WAIT for the weekend!!

[...] P.S. Tabs loves comic books so much that he signed on last year to star as a character in his own graphic novel… [...]
