Geranium Lake Properties, baby carrots (human)

This list was written in pencil on the back of a sketch of today's cartoon (presumably by Mr. Yost):

baby carrots (human)
vinegar
travel brochure
visit to a red planet (martian?)
nunc aut nunquam
functional fool

Part of the Fifty Cent Trip, an intermittent series that appeared from March 1986 through 1989.

Geranium Lake Properties, Very Eel and Rib Key Thing

A relatively straightforward superhero comic panel.

Geranium Lake Properties, "The Return of the Eye-Spider"

Geranium Lake Properties, Chthonia at Chrysorrhoas

Geranium Lake Properties, hollow carotenoid sunset

It's Halloween week and this is the first of three GLP cartoons dedicated to Jack Loki's second favorite holiday. (His favorite holiday is April Fool's Day.) The second Halloween panel will appear on Thursday, the third will appear on Saturday--on the very day of All Saints' Eve. There will be no Sunday cartoon.

Samsara Comics - Raro, Ileop and Plorumquith

Red variation:

This was supposed to be published Sunday, October 25.

Geranium Lake Properties, the sprezzatura of bael fruit toffee

Asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday (and sometimes Saturday night).

Geranium Lake Properties, Jungle Treasure Narrative

This is a part of the GLP series "The Secret of Watchstone Rim".

Geranium Lake Properties, 100 Perpindicular Hearts

You can also read a poem titled "100 Perpindicular Hearts". I don't know if the poem and the cartoon illustrate each other, but they did happen coincidentally.

Geranium Lake Properties, confound your friends, dismay your enemies

We have not shown a misprint from Newark’s Star-Ledger in a while. Yost really loved the Star-Ledger misprints, and this is one of his favorites. Bottom image is how the world outside New Jersey saw today's GLP panel.

Geranium Lake Properties, when the pied ordinaries of your grief become mute

On the back of this comic, Wm. Yost penciled "Series: Jack Loki translates Shakespeare for horned lizards" and "Phrynosoma platyrhinos or coronatum?" His assistant, Ha Kim Ngoc, says there are more than a dozen panels that belong to the Shakespeare translation series, but she is not sure this panel is one of them. Yost wrote his ideas down on pieces of paper, scraps or envelopes or whatever was handy. He jotted all sorts of things on the backs of his GLP panels, including phone numbers of people he never called, titles of books he never read, and confirmation numbers for bills he paid over the phone.

Geranium Lake Properties, heard any good skylark jokes lately?

Geranium Lake Properties, caterpillar sea-life surviving in the bathtub

Another GLP panel that might work as an illustration for a poem ("The Arborist's Wife") from The Wife of History and Other Planetary Characters.

Geranium Lake Properties, overheard through the goat hedge

It didn't start out that way, but this turned into an illustration of my poem "The Shortcomings of Eavesdropping" (from The Wife of History and Other Planetary Characters).

Samsara Comics, "Spark"

This started as a static/graphic image, but when I slashed in the fire layer, most of the ornamental lattice was lost in the blaze. Making it into an animated gif solved that problem. I left off my customary Samsara Comics frame to lighten the load. I don't usually pick such an obvious title as "Spark" but this one demanded it. I guess it doesn't hurt to be conventional once in a while.

Geranium Lake Properties, "Under the Thickety Dune"

Another part of The Secret of Watchstone Rim.

This is a colaboration with Phil Openshaw, who graciously gave me permission to use a piece of this photograph for the branch patterns. Phil's photograph is far more stunning than my little cartoon here. Take some time to check out his Tumblr archive, and his White Cloth Hall series; his photographs of urban decay are thick with texture and fascinating detail.
