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' illustrations have been found in The Rock n Roll Camp for Girls (Chronicle Books), Food & Booze (Tin House Press), Baby Remember My Name (Carroll & Graf), It's So You (Seal Press), Bitch magazine. She has created pet portrait-themed calendars and sold them in the Portland area and has been described as "a quintessentially Portland artist".
