Geranium Lake Properties, 93 iron accessories


Today's GLP guest artist is Eunice Bilfinger, whose signature includes the intitials of her given name, plus the initials of Teradactyl Addams. When she was 4 years old, Eunice became convinced she was a lost cousin of the Addams family. She chose the name Teradactyl, and modeled herself after Wednesday Addams, until high school, when she decided it was safer to become invisible.

Geranium Lake Properties, heliacal layabout




Top image is the Newark’s Star-Ledger misprint, which is Yost's favorite version of this panel. Second image is the Los Angeles Times misprint, and Yost's second favorite version. The third image is his least favorite, the cartoon as he created it. You should be able to see all the misprints, if I remembered to tag them correctly.

Geranium Lake Properties, golden delicious


It has to be admitted that most of the time, Newark's Star-Ledger got it right. In fact, there was one notable occasion when the Star-Ledger was the only paper that got GLP right. On the morning of Aug. 8, 1990, New Jersey residents opened their premier newspaper and discovered the above GLP panel in its customary pride-of-place, the right-hand corner of the Star-Ledger's comics page. The panel was part of a series that GLP historian Michael Veerduer would later call "The Fifty Cent Trip", in an article he wrote for the short-lived zine The Longest Salmon.

Geranium Lake Properties, fifth quadrant of gauss



One of these is another misprinted cartoon from Newark’s Star-Ledger. Can you guess which? The Star-Ledger gave it the caption "Journey into the fifth quadrant."
