The Gashlycrumb Tinies
These are a couple of pages from the book "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" by Edward Gorey. The book is pretty morbid about 26 children that are alphabetically disposed of one by one. I dunno how I just now heard about this. It was printed in the early 60's. All of Gorey's books and illustrations are macabre and witty, and that's right up my alley. Not to mention, the guy was mostly self taught... like me!
