A Stray in the Woods


Alison Wilgus - 2013
    After each update, I took suggestions as to what Cat should do: Investigate an object? Move into another room? Eat something off the floor? These "commands" could be mundane or ridiculous, foolish or brave, serious or silly -- the only rule was that they be possible for Cat to do, given the current circumstances.When I sat down to draw, I would read through all of the commands that had been submitted and select one as the basis for the next page.I sometimes edited for length or corrected minor errors, but every command in A Stray in the Woods came from a reader. While I began with a basic idea of the story I wanted to tell, the community ultimately shaped how Cat's adventure would unfold, and I'm grateful to everyone who took the time to guide A Stray in the Woods.

Legs in the air, for a better chance at conception, Hannah scans fertility Reddits while Johnny dreams about propagating plants—kale, tomatoes—to ensure they have sufficient sustenance should the end times come, which, given their fragile democracy strained under the weight of a carceral state and the risk of horrible war, doesn’t seem so far off. Helping Hannah in her fight for the future is her best friend Gabby, a queer naturalist she idolizes and who adores her. Helping Johnny build the house is Tyler, an off-the-grid conspiracy theorist driven sick by his own cloudy notions of reality.Told with tenderness and care in an undefined near future, Eleanor Davis's The Hard Tomorrow blazes unrestrained, as moments of human connection are doused in fear and threats. Her astute projections probe at current anxieties in a cautionary tale that begs the question: What will happen after tomorrow?
