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.

I got to sit down with @aaronlosty.bsky.social, @yukiclarke.com, @hausofdecline.bsky.social and more a while back at TCAF to discuss all the hot topics surrounding comics!
mgapod.bsky.social
The hosts have been having a great time recording episodes the last couple of months, and we’re excited to publish them!
This all starts with a special solo Lan episode from the floor of TCAF, where he got the comics temperature from several comics pros.

Here's a fun doodle of Judge Dredd from @2000ad.bsky.social I did a bit back after a few friends got excited to see Dredd in my style hehe ^_^

Honestly pretty happy with it for something that took less than an hour, and felt fitting to draw as a resident of the future Mega City One lol

Red Dirt Ruin final pages 19 and 20!

Thanks to all who read my comic & if you want to read back, check my profile or link in the bio!

My next one shot "Ghost of Gennad" is in the works with a hopeful debut at Thought Bubble in Nov along some smaller comics featuring Rita & Josey so stay tuned! ^_^
A comic page. Josey looks back while defensively bracing herself against Rita and calls out "Where the hell did you come from and why are you here?!"

The person retorts that they could say the same about R&J and how they could let exploring the ship slide but going through their console was crossing a line. Josey looks back at the hologram and says "hold up your console?"

The mysterious man tells them they don't care about the ship but threatens to leave their stuff alone. Meanwhile, Rita grabs their bag to pull out and throw a baseball while yelling "Get away from us!"

Josey reaches out to Rita and begins glowing from her chest for teleporting. They embrace and glow stronger as they head home. A comic page. Rita & Josey have disappeared leaving behind just a light of where they teleported while the mysterious man remarks that Josey has the same power as him. He turns to the ball that hit him and realizes that it is not Adimasian but of Earth, something the hologram that resembles him mentions he misses. He tears up and has hope to go home for the first time. 

Meanwhile in Baltimore on Earth, an exterior shot of "Glenwood's Fix 'Er All" is shown and then an interior shot of Rita & Josey is shown while they chat about if these adventures are normal for Josey. Josey says yes and mentions an artifact she wants to find.

Got some yelling in around Union Station in Washington DC. These fascist bozos need to get out of this city!

Good on these people camped up in protest, especially with info to help service members not comply.

@freedcproject.bsky.social is a good place to start if you want to help fight this!
