What the GLP holiday schedule looks like right now: On Thursday, the eve of Xmas, we will post a wintry GLP panel, and on Xmas day we will post one (or maybe two) holiday Samsara panels. No posts during the following weekend. On Tuesday, Dec. 29, we might see some favorite GLP comics from the past year. New Year's Eve will be a new GLP or Samsara post, and then we will take a short break until Jan. 5, 2016.

Geranium Lake Properties, Candy Cane Lane

This one is less Yost and more me, but I am sure that Yost, like many of us, had childhood memories of streets transformed at Christmas into Candy Cane Lanes.

Geranium Lake Properties, Saturn and Sol

This Christmas season, why not put Saturn back into Saturnalia, and Sol Invictus back into Dies Natalis Solis Invicti?

Geranium Lake Properties, a chaotic and quixotic search...

Geranium Lake Properties, Jack Loki and the Miracle Squad

From "The Adventure of the Marzipan Lotus".

Geranium Lake Properties, turn one hair

In this panel, I am feeling the end of fall, and the first frosts of winter. Ha Kim Ngoc identifies this as part of Jack Loki's translations of Shakespeare for horned lizards, but she does not tell us which play this panel illustrates. To me it looks more like Dickens, especially at this time of year, when I have already watched my first Christmas Carol movie. "Mothers and daughters" is the note Yost penciled on the back.

Samsara Comics, the moon dreams three dreams, of bone, frost and iron

After I took time off for the Thanksgiving holiday, I found myself in a massive rush of creativity, which I optimized by avoiding the internet as much as I could. Sorry 'bout leaving you behind, but I'm back, so let's catch up.

Geranium Lake Properties, six Barbary horses against six French swords

The unpublished Hamlet scene.

Geranium Lake Properties, "Ruth Fulcanello and the Angry Ghost Cat"

There are many Fulcanello Brothers, nine or ten or twelve, I don't remember how many right at this moment, but there is only one sister. Ruth.

On March 30, 1992, newspapers had a choice of two GLP cartoons. This one, or a scene from Hamlet. (Yes, that Hamlet, by Shakespeare.) Every newspaper chose this panel, even the Newark Star-Ledger. Next Tuesday, we will get to see that unpublished Hamlet scene, and then we will be taking a break for the Thanksgiving holiday. No GLP comics are scheduled for Thursday the 26th, or Sunday the 29th. I may or may not publish an unscheduled offering, but I am not planning to do anything but eat, hang out with family, and go for a little road trip to see some beach.

Geranium Lake Properties, lucky rain numbers

Part of Jack Loki's Raindance.

Geranium Lake Properties, Three-Boots-in-a-Barrel

On the first Wednesday of his Fifty-Cent Trip, Jack Loki encounters Colonel George Armstrange Havock, the Sheriff of Sisquickarroyo, whom the local inhabitants call "Three-Boots-in-a-Barrel".

Geranium Lake Properties, stil de grain vignette

© lcmt 2015

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!"

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):

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

A relatively straightforward superhero comic panel.
