Paul’s People, No. 13
Any list of Slice contributors who have been in my column a bunch of times would have to include Karen Mobley.
She has offered entertaining answers to lots of Slice questions and submitted highly readable, out-of-the-blue material on all sorts of topics. Karen has addressed seemingly everything from cats' names and a dress code for Spokane to puking prom dates and her guess about the Inland Northwest's least tattooed county.
Not to mention several truly poignant observations over the years.
Smart but not stuffy, Karen is an artist who has a great laugh. I have liked her for years.
