Geranium Lake Properties, golden delicious

It has to be admitted that most of the time, Newark's Star-Ledger got it right. In fact, there was one notable occasion when the Star-Ledger was the only paper that got GLP right. On the morning of Aug. 8, 1990, New Jersey residents opened their premier newspaper and discovered the above GLP panel in its customary pride-of-place, the right-hand corner of the Star-Ledger's comics page. The panel was part of a series that GLP historian Michael Veerduer would later call "The Fifty Cent Trip", in an article he wrote for the short-lived zine The Longest Salmon.

One of these is another misprinted cartoon from Newark’s Star-Ledger. Can you guess which? The Star-Ledger gave it the caption "Journey into the fifth quadrant."

Geranium Lake Properties, the reason for aviation

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After Yost's disappearance, his assistant Ha Kim Ngoc found a dozen folders of unpublished cartoons.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.
