Karen Bolipata is a writer, comedian and graphic memoirist. She writes and occasionally performs funny things. Sad things. Funny and sad things. When she turned 40 she launched CRONE HANDS BOOKS, which features limited-edition zines lovingly made by crone hands—hers. Recent CRONE HANDS titles include “So I’m Married Now,”  “The Pandemic Comix (Vol. 1): An Occasionally Serious Account of Perpetually Serious Times,” and “WEIRD,” a diary comic about unhinged creatives. She lives in a beloved shitty apartment with her husband Franco, their furry son Henri, and their recently launched human son Milo, in Queens, New York.
