The reality of being a student post-millennium is that it’s hard. For those familiar with Isadora’s previous small press comics Sour Pickles certainly lives up to the promise of her existing body of work. This slice-of-life offering is described as “a semi-autobiographical comic about being bi-racial and working class whilst struggling to finish the final year at a prestigious London art school”. Since Isadora self-published that story she has gone on to become part of the Avery Hill Publishing line-up, with her debut, full-length book Sour Pickles debuting last year as part of AHP’s 2021 list. As part of our coverage of the last in-person East London Comics and Arts Festival I covered Clio Isadora’s short comic Is it Vague in Other Dimensions?, a very individual take on autobio work that explored the realities of being brought up in an anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist environment.
