Geranium Lake Properties, how to build a better singularity

Asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Geranium Lake Properties, no rakes, no rivets, no rum

Today's GLP panel was drawn by a guest artist: Geraldine Emberly Rodriguez, who described this cartoon as "your basic visual poetry tale of adventure". Rodriguez always signed her own cartoons with her initials GER, but on the six panels she made for Geranium Lake Properties, she represented herself with a jackalope figure. Everyone called her "Ger", and that's how she was introduced to Yost. It amused both of them to replace the first syllable of "Geranium" with her signature.

The date on this comic was printed according to a calendar of Ger's own invention, which measured Celadon Dream Time in the Fourth Seraphic Lassitude.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

This can be a visual poem about the last two-and-a-half weeks of my life. Or it can be a travel poster. Or it can be an excuse/explanation for why I have not been posting on schedule. Or it can be all three. One of the beauties of asemic writing is that it can express so much, so efficiently.

Here are the summer repeats you missed!

I vacationed harder than I expected I would, but I am getting you back on schedule. Asemic comics will once again be published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Top panel is: Geranium Lake Properties, teeth upon you
Middle: Geranium Lake Properties, a spoon in a marrow sky
Bottom: Geranium Lake Properties, uptown ticket

All three are earlier GLP comics. Next week I will be posting new GLP comics! Next up today is a new Samsara Comic.

Geranium Lake Properties, rap quick

Asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We are taking a little vacay while it's still summer, so for the next week or two we will re-blog some of our favorite GLP panels. Here is an extra one to make up for missing Sunday.

Geranium Lake Properties, feast of the bounce

Asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. I missed last Sunday because I am taking little breaks while it is still summer. California is a place made for summer, so I have been driving/walking more often to look at the Pacific ocean with friends and family.

Asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We are taking some time off from making original GLP cartoons, to frivol with the universe and restore the creative energies. For the next few weeks we will re-blog some of our favorite GLP panels from the past year.

Geranium Lake Properties, hallowed glimpse of the visitor

Asemic comics (Geranium Lake Properties or Samsara Comics) are usually published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, but our regular schedule was interrupted. I caught a cold and took a few days off to rest.

Geranium Lake Properties, Three-Card Doubt, the Geoma Placard

Yost also described Three-Card Doubt as "a combination of fortune telling, soap opera, choose-your-own-adventure, origami, geometry, and Solitaire. Also can be played professionally in groups of five contestants for large amounts of material wealth."

Geranium Lake Properties, Three-Card Doubt, the Ayteb Placard

Three-Card Doubt is one of the more popular forms of kiGamnch. In desert towns near jackalope country, you can find it in packs of 36 placards, in grocery chains and convenience stores, next to the crossword and Sudoku books. Wm. Yost said of Three-Card Doubt: "Jack Loki on several occasions tried to explain the three-card form of kiGamanch to me, but it is something that takes years to understand, and even longer to master. Of course, jackalopes start learning kiGamnch when they're kits barely out of the nest. By the time they're five years old they can play intermediate level Three-Card Doubt with ease."

Geranium Lake Properties, Three-Card Doubt, the Phaal Placard

I will be posting three variations of today's GLP panel. Each one can be seen as an illustration of a placard from a kiGamnch set. If you print out each of these panels, get a pair of dice, a teetotum, a 1929 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and at least thirty American nickels for wagers, you are ready to play Three-Card Doubt. Optional accessories are fingerless gloves and/or a Ouija board.

Other forms of kiGamnch are expressed in ceremonies, music, dance, several forms of literature (including comic books), diets, fashion (especially shoes), pinball machines, metallurgy, ceramics, and architecture (most often for cathedrals and bowling alleys).

Geranium Lake Properties, the nature of dragons and vice versa

I am not claiming anything but a bizarre coincidence, but today's comic is about the wisdom of poking Nature with a stick.

Geranium Lake Properties, "Blue in Green"

Another panel from Jack Loki's Raindance series. By weird coincidence, it rained last night in my part of California.
