Cyborgs & Dinosaurs

Clio Ding

Clio is an indoors creature from Singapore who dabbles with making comics and writing about them when not being preoccupied with snacks and goldfishes. To compensate for its bottomless appetite, Clio teaches art during the day.


Clio creates comic strips, graphic narratives and articles for educational institutions, newspapers, comic anthologies and academic publications. Her research and writings on Singaporean comics can be found on SG Cartoon Resource Hub.
