Tokens of affection and egotism in a commonplace book

A conversation between right and left

As a related tangent to asemic writing, here is a link to an article in The Guardian about the history of the Rorschach Test. I have been told that I can trust The Guardian for good journalism, and the articles I have read at the site have been decent introductions to their topics. The placement of their advertisements is not horrible, and I even contributed $3 to their welfare.

Subterranean Bungalow

Monday's GLP comic was all me, today we are back with Mr. Yost and his sometimes-protagonist, Jack Loki, the only living jackalope in New York. Jack lives in New York only in leap years, during holiday months; when he’s there he usually stays at the Subterranean Bungalow in the Bronx. Jack has spent some time traveling through the world, but his native habitat is the desert, where his neighbors are Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, Val Kilmer and Georgia O'Keeffe.

Bottom panel is a misprint from our favorite carrier of GLP comics, The Star-Ledger from Newark, NJ.

Dpajor's Tree

Like many of my GLP panels, this started out as one thing and then became something else. This piece became something about my mother, who would have been 87 years old today, if she was still in this world. Unlike my other asemic work, I could tell you what most of the symbols mean in this comic, but I think there is yet more for me to discover. I am working on another version of "Dpajor's Tree", it is not quite finished, and I might come across further revelations in the process:

Geranium Lake Properties has often orbited far from its origin as a single-panel comic created in the 1980's by a man named Wm. Yost. I feel like Yost and Jack Loki and their world are still with us, but somewhere GLP became an odd sort of journal for me, evidence of my meditations on a universe encountered through the act of creation.
