Proof of the Rule
Proof of the Rule
1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996 were the leap years that occurred during the first publishing run of Geranium Lake Properties, the years in which the 333rd day of the year fell on the 28th of November instead of the 29th. Jackalopes do not celebrate Threethreethree Day during leap years. Unless you are a member of the Zlessimteestrat. Jack Loki was not born into the Zlessim family-clan, but his…

Nous Tuerons Les Hommes Anciens
Nous Tuerons Les Hommes Anciens
Happy Threethreethree Day! Happy are we indeed, for the world did not end today. There is a faction among the Inultaru that believes the apocalypse has already happened, and we are now living in a post-apocalyptic society. I am inclined to hold that view myself. It seems to me, at my age, I have lived through the ending of several former worlds. Gralie Bohe created a sweet-natured incarnation…

The Center, the Sphere, the Bowl of Time
The Center, the Sphere, the Bowl of Time
Yost’s source for this image is probably a gatehouse mask made by the Buliopenbex Cabal. This is a mask of the Jackalopian god Ekchuajumudabrutu, in their first manifestation as a monstrous child of Tiamat. In this incarnation, they are generally regarded as a god of fury, a raging force of nature, but to me, they seem like this huge infant ball of fuzzy chaos that expresses their pains,…

The Procession of Entropy
Autumn heralds the great holiday for jackalopes, the Procession of Entropy, which begins on October 15 and ends on the last day of the year. Jackalopes believe in a few gods despite being atheists, with a very small percentage who are Greek Orthodox. (This small percentage is dedicated to preserving the traditions of jackalope history in the Byzantine Empire.) Of the Jackalopian Gods, Patchy Kettle might be their oddest, but he is also their most amiable god. Ekchuajumudabrutu is their most classic god, a son of Tiamat. Their most revered god is Entropy, and the major holidays for Entropy conveniently occur during the holiday season that includes Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, which are also celebrated by jackalopes. (Since jackalopes are largely athiests, they seize every opportunity to celebrate other cultures. Jackalopes firmly believe in holidays.)

Six White Horses
"333 Day" is written in pencil on the back of today's panel, presumably by Mr. Yost. Threethreethree Day is a minor holiday for jackalopes in which they anticipate the extinction of the human species. It is a brief holiday (and merrier than Christmas because of that) with one song, "She's Comin' 'Round the Mountain", that has extra verses about the grim death of civilization as we know it. The last two verses are happy ones for jackalopes, contemplating the jollity that ensues when their god Ekchuajumudabrutu makes his triumphal (and extremely violent) return to supreme power.
