When other artists have attempted to draw a comic every day, they often rely on a formula or gimmick. But Yoko’s comics are always fresh and personable. They feel like living beings that take on hundreds of different forms, whether she’s writing about a childhood friend or the history of a drowning town. I’m always excited to see what she’ll do next.
-Janelle Blarg, writer/cartoonist
This is autobiographical art that is not “introspective” in the way that so much art is nowadays. [Yoko] is always looking out and around, even as she places it very much in the context of her own personal experience. And her own enthusiasm, sense of wonder, and fascination with how the world works illuminates this material in a way that’s unique.
-Tony Tone, Boog City
Plica Fimbriata is a tentacular time capsule that extends and retracts with sincere observations that never take themselves too seriously. Yoko mines the mundane for meaning, emerging with a personal account of life leading up to and into the pandemic that could very well become the quirky curriculum of a future society.
