A Corsican Escape Through Sheetrock and Cork

The penultimate panel in “The Conundrum of the Swivetbee Mews”.

I have noticed that when most people use the word “penultimate”, even good writers who should know better, they seem to think it means the big revelation, the last word or the climax of the story. Some people use it as a synonym for “ultimate” in the sense that this is an extra-special, fancy-sounding ultimate.

It just means second to the last.

(My Official Geranium Lake Properties Calendar was delivered yesterday. The only thing I feel I need to say about it is that it is pretty damn stunning.)

Ancient Quincuncial Networks

Jainne Lummrey was a postgraduate student at Newcastle University, studying the history and literature of early modern Britain, when she discovered Geranium Lake Properties in the British comic magazine Viz. (GLP appeared irregularly in Viz from 1987 to 1991, according to a deal with John Brown that was independent from Yost’s agreements with his other comics syndication services.) Jainne wrote to Yost after the “Ancient Quincuncial Networks” panel was published in May 1990. Thus began an ardent correspondence that lasted for nine years, until Jainne Lummrey’s death in 1999. Yost last letter arrived at Jainne’s London address two days after the police discovered her body. The letter was sent from New Zealand, postmarked the day before Yost disappeared after boarding a ferry from Auckland to Rangitoto Island.

Escape from the myths of modernity

A taalcif-shaped hole for escape in the Corsican screen. A taalcif is a tool made from the antlers of a taalchirrik. The 20th letter of this alphabet is shaped like a taalchirrik. Readers were challenged with different parts of the Corsican screen many times during GLP’s run from 1984 and 1997. You can see some of them here. This also might be a glimpse.

I'm not sure what the "Corsican screen" is meant to be, but this is another part of it.
