Geranium Lake Properties, stil de grain vignette

We have dipped into the thirteen folders of unpublished GLP cartoons and brought to light today’s panel. It seems to be another attempt by Wm. Yost to satisfy his obsession with illustrating “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday (and sometimes Saturday night). I missed last Sunday. I knew I was going to miss last Sunday, I could have let you all know, and maybe I should say "Sorry 'bout that!"

I worked the last of my extra holiday hours and I was too tired to post a GLP cartoon on Tuesday, but it's 4 am on Wednesday here, so that's almost Tuesday. Today's yellow wallpaper cartoons, and last Sunday's, and this coming Thursday's, were never seen in the newspapers that published Geranium Lake Properties. They first appeared on Ha Kim Ngoc's website, the late lamented GLP Compendium, which shut down in 2004 under threat of legal action from Sindacato Nuovo Secolo Media, SNSM, popularly known as Snism. More recently, they were published in Beyond the Yellow Wallpaper, a limited edition book of which five copies were sold before sales were stopped by a lawsuit.

After Yost's disappearance, his assistant Ha Kim Ngoc found a dozen folders of unpublished cartoons. Most of these, nearly 200 drawings, were Yost's attempts to illustrate "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The folders were numbered, and we are finishing off this year, and starting the next, with six cartoons from folder number four.

Yost used elements of today's GLP in another attempt to illustrate "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (bottom image). He labeled all his attempts as failures, even though two of his pictures appeared with the "The Yellow Wallpaper" in short story anthologies. Another was used for the cover of a Gilman biography.

Today's panel was repurposed from one of Wm. Yost's several failed attempts to illustrate "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
