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.

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.
