"I Like the Theatre, but Never Come Late..."

Educate yourselves.

This man--I worship this man. I read all three of John Bellairs' series when I was little, despite the fact that they gave me nightmares, purely for his illustrations and the fact that I had a crush on Johnny. Is brilliant man. His own books, too, are magnificent, and his friends called him Ted. Like Neddy Burne-Jones, but not! I love nicknaming Edward. ^_^; Ridiculous me.

--At any rate. GOREY = GENIUS. Go ye and read.

...He should have illustrated Ogden Nash. That would have made my life complete.

...And the rocks with eyes in The Dreadful Summons? Are cuter than turtles. Bwah.

And he also illustrated Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats! *considers using Bucky/Bustopher/Bungle icon, but decides to not scare Soujin away from the internet on her first day back, so here's Etcetera, who was not illustrated by Edward Gorey, but that's okay*

I LOVED JOHN BELLAIR.

Edward Gorey was one of my childhood heroes, probably owing entirely to the 'Mystery!' intro. I love the descriptions of his house, too.
