The Adventures of Groogy and Gleeb
Kate Graham
Kate’s illustrated short story, The Adventures of Groogy and Gleeb, follows a monkey and an alien living on Earth in the distant future as they unravel a mystery left behind by the last of the humans. Underlying the simple nature of the drawing style, the story’s core criticizes the lackadaisical and self-serving choices of those in power and their effect on the future they leave behind; while at the same time showing that even after complete disaster, friendship and kindness will always be constants in the universe.


Fabrics are sewn together to represent the essence of specific memories, some as simple as roasting marshmallows during camping trips to the many hopscotches created with her grandfather to the homes she grew up in.












Certain patterns also represent members of her family, including those that are gone but never forgotten.
