love at first...read?

My short attention span has kept me from actually seeing Edward Gorey's illustrations. My friend Paolo showed me some tonight and I think this new love affair with Gorey is about to get serious.

In this case, I'm gaga for the content rather than going straight for the image. A common theme held together by separate drawings and characters. This is how I see BOXhead as a zine. It's also how I'd like to conduct my work in Phoebe Gloeckner's 'Narrative Art' (comic/graphic novel) class. We'll have to see how that goes...
