In All Stripes, Grieve tackles many of life’s little things that seem too big to handle; the ups and downs of naturally curly hair, living with roommates you’re related to, anxiety management, and unintentionally fostering Toronto raccoons. When life gets you down, you have to remain hopeful and compassionate, just like geegee.
Georgia Grieve is a Toronto based cartoonist. Her autobiographical comics explore everyday events and larger themes in her life, often using humour to cut through life’s challenges.Georgia’s work has been published in several anthologies, and she has tabled at comic arts festivals across Canada and internationally. This is her first book.

"Georgia Grieve’s quiet, observational comics are astute and funny, gentle glimpses of a life being lived, And it seems like a nice life!"
- Joe Ollmann, author of Mid-Life, Fictional Father
“Georgia's comics have been a favourite for many years, spread across posts, anthologies, or in one of her many zines. Seeing 10 years of her work all together at once is a delightful celebration of Georgia's voice and spirit. Through moments of hardship and joy, Georgia's drawings and stories bring grace, humour and insight to every subject she opines on.”
- Jonathan Rotsztain, Pulping collective
From the author -
When I was younger, my mum used to go to Library & Educator Day at TCAF for her work. One year, she brought home Ramsey Beyer’s Little Fish, and I loved it! I grew up reading Archie Comics, Tintin, and Calvin & Hobbes, but I hadn’t experienced comics like Beyer's before. In my undergrad, I was assigned Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis as readings: amazing comics! When I read those, I knew I wanted to draw and write about my life. It wasn't until several years later that I started drawing my comics, but this was a significant turning point for me.
This book is 10 years, six apartments, and four careers in the making. I started drawing autobio comics in my mid-20s, and now here I am, in a completely different part of my life, still drawing! For 10 years, I drew and posted comics online. I focused on Instagram for a while. It wasn’t until 2021 that I made my first print comics - a couple of those stories are included in this book! Between March and July 2025, I redrew nearly all of these pages to bring them into my current illustration style. Despite the occasional hand cramp, it has been a privilege to reflect and breathe new life into my work of the past 10 years!
This book is a celebration of the last decade of my life and comics career. I feel fortunate to be moving into longer comics projects, and this book is an ode to everything that came before, which made that possible. Now that the future of social media seems uncertain and tech companies are making more and more ethically dubious choices, it seemed the right moment to collect my online comics into a book. When Nick approached me in January 2025 about working on a book together, it felt serendipitous!
I think at its core, this is an optimistic book. It balances everyday life, with bigger challenges like mental health. I hope people read this book and consider therapy. It’s improved my life immeasurably! Yet, many of my comics are also silly! I hope that people see that there is always something to laugh at, even if it’s just yourself. I am always looking for the bright side, and I hope this book helps others do the same.
