Here's to a new intro!

I'm Yuki Clarke, a cartoonist creating a sapphic scifi adventure #comic titled Rita & Josey!

Their 1st one shot, Red Dirt Ruin, is out online & in some 🇨🇦&🇺🇸 stores: www.yukiclarke.com/comics/rita-...

More one shots & a full series are in the works, so stay tuned!
A comic panel from "Rita & Josey in the Red Dirt Ruin" as the two characters look at a mysterious ruined spaceship. A 4 panel comic called "Rita & Josey Minis Pillows" Panel 1: Josey looks up "Welcome Home, Sweetie! How did your classes go today?" Rita opens door frustrated saying "Absolutely Terrible!" Panel 2: Rita says "My group project team mates are trash! Lazy asshats acting like my work is theirs but can't even grasp basic engineering!" Panel 3: Rita sits next to Josey saying "Augh I just need to scream into the nearest pillows" Panel 4: Rita stuffs their head between Josey's boobs and screams while Josey holds Rita and says "I got you!" An illustration of chibi Rita & Josey as astronauts floating above the earth A Pride 2025 illustration of Rita & Josey having a small moment of Josey kissing Rita on the forehead while the latter tinkers with some alien tech.

Read this comic friends, especially if you're a Marylander as we need to support local workers!
The convention center is owned by the County so you live in MoCo (unlike my Baltimore ass), reach out to your Councilperson & show support for a fair agreement!

Doot Doot! A comic I've had on the back burner for too long and finally am getting out! Based on the true story of my kid being in a kazoo band in HS lol. Had to get this out there before he starts college so its more relevant hehe

I'll show ofd more Rita & Josey and etc comics soon!
Panel 1: 4 women stand around or sitting, with the sitting woman saying " I'm excited to see Mehreen perform tonight! What are your kids doing?" Panel 2: one woman with pink hair and smiles while holding a soda can saying "Tia's finally drumming with her band!" And another woman has her hand on her cheek proudly saying "My Jalen has his own original piano piece!" Panel 3: The 3 women look at Yuki and ask "And what about your Tabi? What does he play?" While Yuki is smirking Panel 4: Tabi pops out between the 2 standing women to their surprise playing a kazoo while Yuki smugly leans over to present Tabi and says "Kazoo!"

Mother's Day at the Zoo - A new comic based on a true phrase that came out of my mouth lmao

Been meaning to get this one out for a while (clearly as US Mother's Day was 2 months ago) but have been moving and busy with other things so drawing has been slow but happy to get this into the world!
Panel 1: Tabi looks back at Yuki with a big smile and says "Let's go see the birds next!" to which Yuki responds "Hell yeah let's do it Tabi!" Panel 2: A large view of grass and greenery takes up the foreground as Tabi dashes forward and Yuki looks at the grass in frustration. Panel 3: Yuki's full frustrastion shows as she says "Oooh, so when the zoo has tall grass, it's called a nature exhibit..." Panel 4: Yuki finishes her sentence while leaning on the wooden fence with her thumb pointed at her "... but when I have tall grass, its called a code violation!" While Tabi stands in the foreground with a devious look saying "Yeah, f that code!"
