Our Blue Sagrada Samana
This was Yost’s response to the Joseph Cornell box Toward the Blue Peninsula. The box was Cornell’s response to a poem by Emily Dickinson. Yost wrote in pencil on the back of the original art: “It might be easier to fail with land in sight than gain our blue sagrada samana.” You can see another version here.

Larrikin Days
In the Jackalopian calendar, Larrikin Days are traditionally the fourth Tuesday of each month. On these days, jackalopes are encouraged to express their larrikins, their “true selves”. A jackalope will have at least one larrikin name, and most jackalopes have several names for different aspects of their true selves. Some of these may be secret identities, but most are shared with family, friends or the public. A nom de guerre or nom de plume would be a larrikin name.
This could be your name, no. 186.
Jack Loki’s Map to Gangaftagley
“Are you familiar with the phrase ‘best laid plans’? Jack asked.
"Yes, of course,” said the cartographer.
“Well, what I would like, really, is a map that would get me directly to Awry, without the fuss and bother of making all those plans.”

Stars Collapse to Become Landscapes
On the back of the original artwork for this comic, Yost wrote in pencil: “Collapse between Zam and Atar in the tower at Balkh” and “early aviation”.

Three Square Assurances from the World-Sharers
From 1985 comes one of my fave GLP misprints made by Newark’s Star-Ledger. Bottom image is the correct version of “Three Square Assurances from the World-Sharers”. If you’ve been paying attention, you know which of the two was Yost’s favorite.

A Plain Gallop Overstride Onto A Cramped Anti-Djinn Jamboree
Two-thirds of the newspapers that originally printed this Geranium Lake Properties panel in 1987 used the word “Overstrike” instead of “Overstride” in the caption. Looking at a Xerox copy of the handwritten note that accompanied the artwork, I can’t really tell if the letter in question is a “d” or a “k”.
We sometimes refer to the captions for GLP comics as titles, but the correct term is caption.

Zellig's thistle-like syntax betrayed calculated changes in the entropy of unanimous breath.
