I hope I'm not completely ignorant, but could someone fill me in on who Edward Gorey is? The line is really great and interesting, however I have no context.

I'm replying to myself, but thanks for the comment. I do know the PBS illustrations, but I didn't know where they came from. I'll have to check it out.
