Webcomicker Karen Ellis, author of the diary comic Planet Karen, lost her home this weekend to a fire in her apartment complex. The apartment above hers caught fire, killing the occupant and burning the neighboring lofts. Karen is physically fine, but she has lost everything--her clothing, furniture, books, computer, and original art, including the work she was doing for an upcoming printed collection of her comic. You can read about it here:

If you have a few dollars rattling around in your Paypal account, please consider donating to her so she can get back on her feet. Even the smallest amount can help someone who has nothing. Donations can be made at her website:

    I don't know who that is... but it's a good example of why it pays to have renters insurance.

    If you don't know who she is, take a few minutes to look over her work. Hers is, in my opinion, one of the finest comics on the web.
