Safety in numbers


Today I am finding comfort in an early style of Geranium Lake Properties. Did you know Yost first called them Geranium Lake Prophecies?

Bonnethead


On the back of today's panel, Yost wrote in pencil “Crow’s Account of St. George”, which is a poem by Ted Hughes.

Two factors query and impart velocity



I will be trying out a two-day-per-week schedule for Geranium Lake Properties, on Tuesdays and Fridays. This week-end is going to be a busy one for me, so the next GLP comic will go up Tuesday, March 8.

Flirting with imperial culture


Asemic comics are still published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, although I am thinking of going to a two-days-a-week schedule for GLP (maybe Tuesday and Friday) to free up time to devote to other projects. If you have an opinion on the best days to post, your input is welcome. I can't post GLP on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Two from Qoheleth


Top: The wisdom of incoherence
Bottom: The philosophy of the cliché

Qoheleth is a series of random-appearing panels within GLP, much like the Fifty-Cent Trip or the Yellow Wallpaper series. Wikipedia will tell you that Qoheleth is the author of Ecclesiastes. Yost once let slip that “Qoheleth” was an alias for a real person in his life. Gralie Bohe used it for the middle name of a cat, John Q. Public, in her novel, The Boy in the Yellow Leatherette Portmanteau. (This was the post for Thursday, Feb. 25, 2016. I have problems with time in the Twenty-First Century.)

The difficulty of crossing a field


Asemic comics are still published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, even though lately I have been missing my Saturday post and posting it on Monday.

An alliance of outsiders who rule over a wide-spread otherness


Asemic comics are published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I missed last Saturday's cartoon, so I am posting it today.

Luristan bronze


Today’s comic steals from a book on the shelf above my computer monitor, jammed between Shocking Beauty by Thomas Hobbs and Where the Buffaloes Begin by Olaf Baker, illustrated by Stephen Gammell. Neither of those books is imaginary. Forty-Four Insanely Fun DIY Craft Projects from Luristan Bronzes, From the Dang Simple to the Kinda Hard, written by Amy Lou Biehl and illustrated by Celestina Zeballos, comes out of my library of imaginary books. It was published in 1973 by Ten Speed Press in Berkley, California. Soft cover, with 160 pages.

Yost’s copy is signed by Celestina Zeballos with the inscription “For Wm. Thanks for the absurd pedigree full of rain. Celestina Z.”
