The Misapprehension of Fortune

The title might be explained by the fact that I have been watching Alan Watts videos on Youtube.

Finding significance in the failure of words

Today’s GLP comic is all me. After I posted Tuesday’s panel, I received encouragement from both GLP historian Michael Veerduer, and Yost’s former assistant, Ha Kim Ngoc, to occasionally publish as myself under the Geranium Lake Properties title. I think it is a perfectly normal thing to get advice from fictional people. As soon as I learned to read, I started absorbing all sorts of life lessons from mythical beings, from Bartholomew Cubbins to Cinderella to Spider-Man to Dear Abby to Jesus. For my understanding of Wm. Yost, I have relied heavily on the novel The Boy in the Yellow Leatherette Portmanteau by Gralie Bohe, a fictional piece of fiction by a fictional author. (The novel is set in the fictional town of Whittlespear Beach, California. California is not fictional, it just seems that way.)

Zoomoozophone Review 8

Martian Comics

Many people have asked why it took the Martians so long to encounter comic books, when comic books had been in existence for more than fifty years before 1972. There are certain people who claim they have actually asked actual Martians, and have received dozens of different answers in several different languages. Henry F. S. Little and Nicholas P. Dooren, in Martian Oratory Principles (Beanfield Press, Seattle, 1998) insist that only three of these answers are significant, usually translated as "They were in the stack." "We were not ready." "We were taking a nap." My personal favorite is: "We were distracted by albatrosses eating Fig Newtons."

I am so excited about this.

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.

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.
