Awkward Miracles
The art made by Artificial Industry is (and will always be, no doubt) the product of drudgery. The Masters of Industry will try to hide their theft of labor (they have always tried to hide their theft of labor) but the product will always be the result of machine drudgery. This tedious application of pattern duplicating engines1 has advocates and defenders who were once born as actual human…

The Solution is the Error, Part 1
If you have been a long-time reader of Vraicking, you may be aware of the chequered history of Newark’s Star-Ledger newspaper and its adventures in printing Geranium Lake Properties comics. If you are not aware, or would like to refresh your memory, you may avail yourself of the convenient misprint tag for a review of glitched GLP panels. Wm. Yost regularly expressed his great fondness for the…

Unsupposed Acts
Agwon-heiskor wyinch Tellounmirta is the plural. Most jackalopes speak of the “Unsupposed Acts” done in the spirit of the Joy Revolt with an untaught plurality. The singular form, Agwon-heiskor weyir Tellounmeed, is used in specific circumstances. What are these circumstances? If you know, if you are reading this, please let us know.1 Also, if you have a good rule for using the word “these”…

More Extra-Credit Questions (Choose At Least Four To Answer) 1. a. Why must we learn to carry ourselves as upright catastrophies weighted under the mass and shape of the sky? b. And imitate the obstinate frivolity of a single windmill turning in the wrong direction? 2. Why must we be awkwardly placed under giant buildings as they fall over and over again? 3. a. Why would we want to document…
Aloe Leaf Resistance
We seriously thought about titling this episode as “A Dizzying Breadth of Ailments Stretched along a Horizon” or “Simple Hearts Wait Idle”. We briefly considered “Eloquence and Drought”. We all had our reasons. A part of me knows with imperfect clarity that my reasons were unreasonable and sentimental and would be better classified as fancies. Yet these whims are good and timely, because today’s…

Porcelain Girl
Hopefully this post works as a Mother’s Day offering – we have included a bit of asemic magic, a mask to print and color, and a fairy tale. This is the third part of our acquiescence to requests for the three Geranium Lake Properties comics portraying the mask of Kyin-Namtey Ushinwoldemmida. This demalion’s short-name is Kyushin. A woldemmida in Jackalopian lore is a female fox-spirit who…
Kitsune
Excerpt from the novel The Boy in the Yellow Leatherette Portmanteau by Gralie Bohe: A tall woman stood talking to Yost and the chief; her back was towards Ethan but a characteristic unease gripped him at his first sight of her. She stood narrow as a poplar, square-shouldered in a short leather jacket of simple cut, old and obviously cherished, her long legs sheathed in spotless faded jeans,…
Vixen
We have received more than several requests for the three Geranium Lake Properties comics featuring the mask of the demalion named Kyin-Namtey Ushinwoldemmida, otherwise know as the Vixen, or less often, the Porcelain Girl. Today’s post is the first part of our response to those requests, the first of three posts in which you will be able to find, for future reference, the variations of this mask…

Yet Another Palaeographical Fable An embodied demon, jarred awakeby the consoling sound of the sea,decides to walk across the fossil world. Revenant electricity and oracularwreckage from the nightmind hoverbehind his shoulder, endured with destinies coiled in corrosive echoes—while brawn wings of deep heart muscleshudder within the core of his shadow. In his wake, lampfire trembles. Lost…
Collecting Plectrums and Preserving Foghorns
The mask in this Geranium Lake Properties comic for the First Day of May (which is a holiday for half the world so you should know by now that jackalopes will insist on taking part in the celebrations) is for the demalion1 of the Three Trees Named Inkorran, Yamṭu and Lirjannihlos. You may know them as mesquite, Palo Verde and manzanita. The title of today’s post comes from a famous quote…
A Whetstone Enclad in Algae
Icon Number Sixty-Four is the portrait mask of the demalion named Kuba-lembassallo-atidja, who is also called Voymahvoytu by the Toh-inen-wa and Second House jackalopes. Dr. Boromir Fandellacken, Professor of Anthropology, Historiography and Philology at Gurrackelleen College, will tell you that we can “safely translate the name of Kuba-lembassallo-atidja as Presence and Vulnerability. This is a…
