Gorey had been contracted by Addison-Wesley to illustrate \"Donald and the...,\" a childrens story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Goreys shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. In a hospital waiting room, they pored over Goreys drawings for the first time together, and Gorey infused the situation with much hilarity.

The Boggerslosh, the Crunk, and the Dawbis; the Ippagoggy, the Jelbislup, and the Kwongdzu; the Scrug, the Twibbit, and the Ulp—each strange and wonderful zoomate displays its own primary characteristic, described in Gorey's inimitable, droll, rhyming couplets.A writer and artist with an instantly recognizable style, Gorey (American, 1925–2000) created over one hundred works and was also a playwright, an award-winning set and costume designer, and the creator of the animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery! First published in 1967, The Utter Zoo is a favorite of Gorey fans, young and old alike—no matter how well they know their ABCs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pomegranate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46356485898412,"sku":"9780764955082","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6626\/7820\/files\/9307423482460.jpg?v=1781639163"},{"product_id":"9781087501260","title":"West Wing","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1963, The West Wing is one of Edward Gorey's classic books. This wordless tale unfolds through thirty-one mysterious drawings that carry the viewer from room to room via long corridors. Peeling wallpaper hangs to the floor, a candle held by invisible hands casts light into the dark, and odd characters appear unbidden. The viewer wonders: What's haunting this building? And who left that boulder on the table? First released as part of The Vinegar Works: Three Volumes of Moral Instruction (which included The Gashlycrumb Tinies and The Insect God) this book is undoubtedly a cautionary tale. Stop.
