Awards and honors
In 1999, City Pages named her Best Local Cartoonist, writing: “Monroe's scratchy, winsome Violet Days meanders through everyday topics: the merits of various candies, the habits of squirrels, the shoplifting rituals of young girls. And each quick meditation is delivered with a deadpan tone that indicates a sharp wit honed against life's frailties and absurdities." In 2016, she won an emmy award for her animation artwork for "Kevin Kling: Lost And Found," a documentary produced by TPT.
