Geranium Lake Properties, undergo four pinpoints


Gettin' back in touch with the black-and-white roots of GLP. Also the nonsensical and/or implausible titles.

Asemic comics will still be published here three times a week, on Tuesday(or Monday), Thursday(or Friday) and Sunday (or Saturday). The schedule for GLP might be somewhat irregular for a few weeks, as we settle into the new year.

Geranium Lake Properties, go boom


Fire and Ice
By Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

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, 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, "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.
