    The alien kind of reminds me of Invader Zim.

    No one calls it the Red Rocket, Gleebax. Except possibly other out of towners.

    Basically in love with Gleebax.

    I want a button of Gleebax that I could proudly wear on my lapel. He is absolutely delightful.

    Gleebax – while you are in town what else will you do?

    Rey, if you ever sell prints, notes, or postcards with the illustrations you do for Torontoist (I like locally referenced art!), I’d definitely buy.
