The Orlando Museum of Art had a big Gorey exhibit about a year ago. It was very cool getting to see his stuff in person.

Gorey is great. Those Tinies are the funniest Victorian child deaths every. Neville, who died of Ennui is my favorite I think. I learned what a great word Ennui was after looking it up after seeing that Gorey panel.

I hope it's okay that I automatically think of you whenever I hear the word "ennui" now. :)

I love that poem too. I think my favorite is Basil, assaulted by bears.
