Kawaii Not - About

About

What is Kawaii Not?
Kawaii Not is a four panel webcomic, typically featuring cute versions of everyday objects doing and saying some crazy stuff. Hopefully it’s funny. Or maybe you’re just dead inside.

What the hell does kawaii not mean anyway?
Well, kawaii is the Japanese term for cute, as in, “look at the fuzzy kitten, he’s so kawaii”, and not is an English term meaning “not”. It’s that simple.

Where can I buy cool Kawaii Not stuff?
You can get a rotating variety of limited edition tees, socks, and buttons directly from me at the Kawaii Not Shop.

If you are looking for the first Kawaii Not book , check out Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local bookstore (as long as it still exists.)

I also have officially licensed t-shirts (through Ripple Junction) available at stores such as Hot Topic.

If you are a company interested in Kawaii Not licensing options, please contact Joel Barnett at Brentwood Licensing.

Author! Artist!
Both are me, Meghan Murphy — nice to meet you. I’m also freelance illustrator, and you can always see more of my work over at Murphypop.

You are one funny lady, I love the juxtaposition of the cute and messed up. Thanks for making me never trust everyday items again. Keep it up.

  Thank you so much! I love all your comic comments – I truly appreciate them.

I did really like this, but now I can’t even find the comics on here anymore. How sad… :/

  All past comics are in the Archive section. You can now search them by name or tag.

Hello! I am here because I found your book in a barns and Nobles! Your art is adorable and the design choice for your book was great! However I didn’t purchase it being short on funds, but I’ll try to when I get some more money <3

  Absolutely. I’m still re-configuring my shop set-up – but I’ll be adding back buttons soon.

Hi Meghan. Really love Kawaii Not. It’s wonderful and a scream.
I ordered a “Do Science To Me” t-shirt awhile ago — was curious if these have shipped out yet, as I haven’t received mine. Let me know — thanks!
- http://www.kawaiinot.com Meghan
  
  All the tees have been shipped.
  
  If you e-mail me (meghan at kawaiinot.com) with either your transaction # or the e-mail addy you used to order, I can tell you exactly when.
  
  Thanks!

Hi, you may already be aware of this, or this may some arrangement you already have, but I didn’t see anything about it on the page, so I thought I’d bring it to your attention just in case:

Hot topic has this shirt: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Clearance/599GraphicTShirts/I-Make-My-Own-Luck-Girls-TShirt-184659.jsp

Which I recognized from the little Kawaii Not flip booklet thing I have. http://www.kawaiinot.com/2006/10/09/make-your-own-luck/
- http://www.kawaiinot.com Meghan
  
  Good news! That is an officially licensed Kawaii Not t-shirt, so it’s all on the up-and-up.
  
  Thank you so much for looking out for me. It makes me feels all warm and fuzzy (which is a rare and lovely mood for me.)

    You’re very welcome. There was nothing about KN anywhere in the description so I just wanted to make sure.

Hi, I absolutely love your art, and I was wondering if there are stickers….? A friend of mine has your book from 2008, and there were stickers in it, but I can’t seem to find the book anywhere.
- http://www.kawaiinot.com Meghan
  
  Not sure if my first book is getting reprinted, but I have a new book coming out March 2012 that will have two pages of new stickers. I also might be able to get some more copies of the first book for my store at some point.

I love the I feel stabbity t-shirts. Just ordered 3 more. Though I am wondering if the Coffee Drink of the Damned shirt will be coming back. Would love to add that one to my collection.

  I’ll most likely be reprinting Drink of the Damned sometime before the end of the year – so have no fear. ;D
  
  And thank you so much for the orders! Most wonderful!

Hey Meghan, I’ve got a question for you! It might seem a bit stupid, but, I was wondering if you still had any of the original “One Twisted Bitch” stickers (not son of a bitch) left somewhere, stock piled away or something. It would be AWESOME if you could let me know if you do. Thanks so much.
- http://www.kawaiinot.com Meghan
  
  So sorry, but I don’t have any of that design. I actually don’t remember having seen ones with that different wording before.

My love is like a cabbage
divided into two
the leaves i give the others
the heart i give to you

Awesome work Meghan! I’m recovering from a broken wrist, a good part of my arm is in a pink cast. Surely, you can turn that into a comic?

My mom LOVES one of the strips from your first book. If I were to copy it onto fabric to give her as a dish towel, would I be violating your copyright?

RSS feed items do not show comic image anymore, is this intentional?
