A Canticle for Horus Venose
Horus Venose is a deity that started nudging its way into my consciousness several months ago. I have yet to find any myths about him, but images of his physical appearance occasionally flicker into the view of my mind’s eye. I get the feeling he is not a god of the Jackalopian cosmos feature so prominently in the Geranium Lake Properties comics.

According to the Myths of Crow
The singular nature of Yost’s creative energy impelled him to make numeous GLP comics inspired by the poems in the book Crow by Ted Hughes. It was nowhere near the obsession Yost had for “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, but it was a preoccupation that lasted several years in the late 80’s. His final Crow piece was this one, a visual poetry broadsheet combining six interrelated abstract comics in the Geranium Lake Properties format. (Made with the help of Bil Sabab, aka Volodymyr Bilyk, and Phil Openshaw, aka Phil Openshaw.)

Ancient Quincuncial Networks
Jainne Lummrey was a postgraduate student at Newcastle University, studying the history and literature of early modern Britain, when she discovered Geranium Lake Properties in the British comic magazine Viz. (GLP appeared irregularly in Viz from 1987 to 1991, according to a deal with John Brown that was independent from Yost’s agreements with his other comics syndication services.) Jainne wrote to Yost after the “Ancient Quincuncial Networks” panel was published in May 1990. Thus began an ardent correspondence that lasted for nine years, until Jainne Lummrey’s death in 1999. Yost last letter arrived at Jainne’s London address two days after the police discovered her body. The letter was sent from New Zealand, postmarked the day before Yost disappeared after boarding a ferry from Auckland to Rangitoto Island.
