Modifications and Additions Added Already:
Her second graphic novel, Fetch, was released in July 2017.

In July 2017, Georges released Fetch, a graphic memoir that centers on the relationship between the author and her dog, Beija. The work follows the lives and adventures of the companions as they age and face challenges alongside one another.

Georges also creates illustrations, portraits, and prints of animals. Primarily featuring cats and dogs, these works are both displayed and sold on her website and others.

Additionally, Georges has created and produced over 130 episodes of her podcast, Sagittarian Matters. The podcast is hosted by Georges and frequently welcomes guest interviews and co-hosts. The episodes are themed according to a wide variety of topics, with veganism, queer identity, feminism, pets, and cartooning remaining some of the most prevalent.

Georges has been creating Invincible Summer since 2000, and has published 23 issues of the zine. It is an autobiographical comic zine detailing her life with dogs, dates, coffee intake, teaching, and creative pursuits. The zine has a queer and feminist slant, and provides crafting tips and simple vegan recipes.

The first eight issues of Invincible Summer were collected by Tugboat Press in 2004, with the addition of a second volume(issues 9-14) published in 2008 by Microcosm Publishing.

'Georges has been creating Invincible Summer Since 2000'', and has published 23 issues of the zine. It is an autobiographical comic zine that narrates the events of multiple periods of her life. Invincible Summer has a queer and feminist slant, and draws upon a variety of topics, some of which include a connection to animals, the importance of coffee intake, relationships with friends, family, and romantic interests, navigating the waters of creative pursuits, vegan cooking and recipes, and more. '''

'The first eight issues of Invincible Summer'' were collected by Tugboat Press in 2004, with the addition of a second volume (issues 9 through 14) published in 2008 by Microcosm Publishing. In the second edition of the first volume, Georges writes that the original name of the zine was "My Tooth Has Teeth," however, it was given its current name after the author was inspired by an Albert Camus quote that appeared on a bookmark she found in a thrift shop. Georges also notes that in Invincible Summer, she can see herself "growing up," and can "trace" different moments in her life as she was "figuring out how to live a little better all the time." '''

'In Invincible Summer'', Georges mentions Linda Barry and and Lisa Carver as some of her favorite creators. '''


 * In addition to these things, I have already gone through the article and edited certain grammatical inaccuracies, slightly changed some phrasing, made additions to the Infobox, and added citations where they were missing. These changes are visible when you click the "View History" tab, and look at the edits made by "OpticalWriter"

Future Modifications and Additions:

 * I am considering creating a new section called "Critical reception." I want to reorganize the section called "Tours and awards," moving the information about awards to "Critical reception." In the "Critical reception" section, I am also planning on discussing some aspects of Georges' work mentioned in reviews, such as how it has impacted LGBTQ communities, how it has been received by other groups (potentially including vegans, "zinesters," people from the Portland region), and how it fits into the discussion of animals in visuo-textual or just textual works.
 * I also want to expand the "Teaching" section to include information about some of her artistic philosophies, and how she progressed from zines to teaching.
 * Under the section "Books and illustrations," I want to briefly include a description of some of the main themes and artistic styles her works are characterized by (such as exclusively black and white illustrations in her graphic novels) and a focus on animal-human relationships.
 * I want to add information to descriptions of Invincible Summer and Calling Dr. Laura. I have already done this for Fetch, but have just not finished the two aforementioned books (although they are in my possession).
 * I am going to add information about the few webcomics she has featured on her personal website and on her instagram account.
 * I have not come across a great deal of information concerning her personal life, and the birthdate in her Infobox is even imprecise, which has prompted me to consider reaching out to her, although I am not sure what results this endeavor would yield.
 * The brief blurb that is meant to summarize the most important information displayed on her page at the top could serve to be re-vamped as well.
 * i would also like to add information about her artistic style, however, I am unfamiliar with technical terms and do not feel qualified enough to add an objective (and accurate) summary of this information. However, I have noticed some themes emerge in her work: black and white illustrations in her graphic memoirs,
