Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 24, 2011

Ahh, I LOVE the Gashlycrumb Tinies. You can read the whole twisted thing The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

TravelerM: Thank you for the link. It is a must read!! Friends

They got a lot of books for $500 from a brick and mortar store

This is the first time I’m hearing the verb ‘goose.’

Ah, Frazz, where there’s never any conflict at all and everything goes as merrily as planned.

When my first grandchild came along, I bought the Gashlycrumb Tinies to read to her for her ABCs (and my second son bought his niece a copy, too).

I wonder how many copies of Fahrenheit 451 did they include?

I knew The Gashleycrumb Tinies would come into this.

and then there is Donald and the… about Donald and his pet maggot that turns into a fly.

Dang I have been deprived. Never heard of Gashlycrumb Tinies. Will have to get it.

It’s by Edward Gorey

“They got a lot of books for $500 from a brick and mortar store.”

Borders is liquidating their inventory. You can still pick up some great deals.

If you’re new to Gorey, I’d suggest picking up one of the “Amphigory” collections to start with. The individual books are wonderful, but putting together the entire Gorey Library one-by-one can get expensive (not to mention that, at any given time, any given book might not be in print).

n, “give it a goose,” v: “goose it,”If you poke it in the butt, hopes are, it’ll move quickly.With publicly funded sources of these archaic forms of communication, a good goose is the best way to make them move at all.

And in 2023 there are BOOK BURNINGS in ameriKKa, just like Germany in 1933. Missouri, gQps burning books with flame throwers.
