Edward Gorey must have been a fascinating person. By looking at his disturbing narrative illustrations, one would easily assume he was a twisted, deranged character; however, according to people who knew him, he was actually a wonderful man, an absolute opposite to the characters and settings he consistently conjured.

You see, Gorey’s graphic stories evoke the most ominous and terrific feelings, even though they could easily be mistaken for children’s books. The themes he addresses in his body of work are dark and gruesome, even as they are seemingly natural. Within this apparent paradox, we find the brilliance of a remarkable and influential 20th century illustrator.

That people have been complaining about The Simpsons since pretty much its very first episode is not surprising. What never fails to shock me to the point of rolling on the floor laughing is the kind of complaints that The Simpsons gets. There is a fascinating web site called GovernmentAttic.org that has compiled a list of complaints filed with the FCC against The Simpsons that contains more laughs than a season DVD of Family Guy and the series-length DVD collection of America Dad put together.
