Geranium Lake Properties, go boom


Fire and Ice
By Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

What the GLP holiday schedule looks like right now: On Thursday, the eve of Xmas, we will post a wintry GLP panel, and on Xmas day we will post one (or maybe two) holiday Samsara panels. No posts during the following weekend. On Tuesday, Dec. 29, we might see some favorite GLP comics from the past year. New Year's Eve will be a new GLP or Samsara post, and then we will take a short break until Jan. 5, 2016.

Geranium Lake Properties, Candy Cane Lane


This one is less Yost and more me, but I am sure that Yost, like many of us, had childhood memories of streets transformed at Christmas into Candy Cane Lanes.

Geranium Lake Properties, a chaotic and quixotic search...


...for the perfect conifer.

When I'm not on holiday, asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday (or sometimes Saturday night).

Geranium Lake Properties, Jack Loki and the Miracle Squad


From "The Adventure of the Marzipan Lotus".

Geranium Lake Properties, turn one hair


In this panel, I am feeling the end of fall, and the first frosts of winter. Ha Kim Ngoc identifies this as part of Jack Loki's translations of Shakespeare for horned lizards, but she does not tell us which play this panel illustrates. To me it looks more like Dickens, especially at this time of year, when I have already watched my first Christmas Carol movie. "Mothers and daughters" is the note Yost penciled on the back.

Samsara Comics, the moon dreams three dreams, of bone, frost and iron


After I took time off for the Thanksgiving holiday, I found myself in a massive rush of creativity, which I optimized by avoiding the internet as much as I could. Sorry 'bout leaving you behind, but I'm back, so let's catch up.
