We hope to run this event simultaneously as an in-person event at the Southern Belle pub, and online for those who would prefer to join virtually. You may have to bear with us as we get to grips with technology but we'll do our best!

Our guest this month is Clarrie Pope, artist and co-writer, with her sister Blanche, of Welcome Home, which was shortlisted for the Myriad First Graphic Novel prize in 2018 and published by Minor Compositions. Clarrie will be interviewed by Alex Fitch of Panel Borders for Resonance FM.

Welcome Home tells the tale of the overlapping lives of a group of people squatting in a condemned tower block in London, and the rivalries and love triangles that form within this community. As Clarrie says, it's about "lost struggles, unrequited love and irritating activists. Despite its gloomy topics, it is written with humour and driven by hope."

Her second graphic novel in progress, Love's Labour, was longlisted for the Laydeez Do Comics prize in 2021.
