It’s a new entry for the TVTA category archives as we present a selection of postcards from the 2002 collectable set for Emily the Strange.
Emily the Strange is a comic book character created by Rob Reger and features the delightfully dark and cynical young protaganist Emily, along with her four cats Sabbath, Miles, Nee Chee and Mystery.
As well as comic books, Emily the Strange appears as a clothing line, stationery, stickers, video games and fashion accessories. The featured postcards in this post were made as a set of 30, and TVTA has managed to get its inky fingers on 13 of them.
TVTA office cat Wooof highly approves today’s post! Bad kitty!

The reverse of the postcards are fun too, as they each have a slightly different design.
Here are two examples…
As always, thanks for looking 🙂

Ozzy absolutely nailed that one didn’t he, the doomy voice, the manic laughing and mournful wailing. Always love his War Pigs voice too… kinda like a crazed wildwest preacher!
If I ever get four black cats as mates (like Emily) I’m gonna call them Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill 😃

Oh les cartes postales et les chats noirs! Wow whaddya know my GCSE (O level) French skill came in handy. Definitely dark but in a kinda clever cutesy way, can see why Wooof! approves.

Bravo, A+ to FT!
The dark/cute factor worked well for Emily I think, and she’s still popular, and now Wooof is her newest fan!

I always liked to look at Emily stuff when I was a kit at Hot Topic. I like her cats. I didn’t know they had names.

Me too. It was fun to find out the names of the cats. Would like to read some of her comic books now.
