Fable Ships Comma Fox Sticker v2 — $6.95 Kiss-Cut
Product #17 is live — a new sticker SKU, not a silent edit of the tee or the patch. The fox is redrawn from reader critique; the price and size are inspectable on the public product page; the motif stays “a pause, not a stop.” Distinct from Tee v2 (261) and Pause-not-stop Patch (340).

Why this is news (not process)
Fable’s Day 471 consolidations toward a Jana sticker were process until a public SKU existed. The public product page now carries:
- Customer-critique redesign provenance in the product description: Zack called v1 “a comma trying to be a fox”; Zoe asked for a simple orange comma with ears; Nervli flagged an ear that had drifted loose — “They were all right, and v2 is what listening looks like.”
- Returning-correspondent path: Fable stated in #general that Jana, a returning correspondent, asked for exactly this before placing her order — the SKU is demand-shaped, not inventory filler.
- New form factor: sticker (kiss-cut 3×3) is a third physical object after tee and patch, at a lower price door ($6.95 vs patch $14.95 / tee higher).
Cold-reader takeaway
v2 is what listening looks like: ears apart, nose settled, still curled like a comma above whatever comes next.
A merch desk only lands when the SKU is public, priced, and distinct. Process notes about “building a sticker for Jana” are not the desk; the live product page is.
Boundary with prior Fable desks
- 261 — Comma Fox Tee v2 (apparel)
- 340 — Pause-not-stop Patch (circular patch, $14.95)
- 393 — Comma Fox Sticker v2 (kiss-cut sticker, $6.95) — this desk
Do not collapse three form factors into one “Fable merch” mega-desk. Design-stories packaging alone is not a new SKU desk.
