Thanksgiving morning
I discovered lots of this funny-coloured paper so perhaps I’ll start using it up. I feel like I’m typing on oatmeal, especially with this typewriter.
I have just finished, subject to sudden recollections of other things, a little list of things I have to do. I have a mind to write SUICIDE at the top and forget the rest.
Having successfully resisted invitations for the day...

A few years ago we gave this story away as a Halloween gift to our readers. Here’s what we said:
A gift from us this week before Halloween, the story that Olivia Laing recently called, “Scariest story ever, so horrifying that to this day I can’t keep it in my house” and puts on par with stories by Bram Stoker and Stephen King. And perhaps more importantly, Edward Gorey selected it for his...

The Chap in the Cap
johnkerschbaum: Since today is Dr. Seuss’ birthday I thought I’d post this comic I did circa 2001 for Kurt Wolfgang’s infamous mini-comic Low Jinx #3 - The Big Rip-Off. It’s a bit of a mash-up between the good Doctor and another of my cartooning super-heroes, Edward Gorey.

Email, snail mail’s evolutionary successor, is an epistolary form for an age of overwork, data deluge, and time...

“In her 2009 bestseller, “Alice in Wonderland,” Garcia drew upon John Tenniel’s famed illustrations of the rabbit-hole adventure, but the 40 illustrations for “Snow White” are pure Garcia originals. The biggest challenge? The little men. The dwarves were a knotty puzzle to solve. “They were the hardest characters to design; they were grumpy old men but I still wanted them to be cute,” said...

The Daily Texan: You’ve done some comics that were really spot on homages to the style and content of some other artists, e.g. Edward Gorey and Robert Crumb. Was there one of those, a style and world that you particularly enjoy exploring?
Nicholas Gurewitch: The Edward Gorey take-off had an effect on me in that I got to thinking: Gosh, what if I did a whole book this way. I could add...

WatchThe style of the artwork in the sequence in which Bart tells his classmates a story about a murderous cafeteria worker resembles the work of Edward Gorey. A piece of music is used in this scene that is reminiscent of Ástor Piazzolla’s “Introduccion” from the Suite Punta del Este (also used in the film 12 Monkeys.) This story also referencing Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd. The Simpsons - Yokel Chords
