No? OK, feel shame for a moment, then go read a few of his books to become a more complete human. For the rest of us, this comic is Pam&#8217;s tribute to Gorey, and it&#8217;s a beauty. It&#8217;s also damned near impossible to review without giving the whole thing away, so it&#8217;s a good thing I&#8217;m not paid by the word. Or at all, really. Hey, I&#8217;ve been doing this for free for 12 years! So hey, this comic. The page I sampled should tell you all you need to know about this style, but this thing is ridiculously perfect as a tribute. The dialogue, the fur coat, the one piece old-timey bathing suit, everything was as it should be. Send her a buck to check it out, then slip it into one of your Gorey books. I&#8217;m curious to see how much it confuses the next person to read that book, or if they think it might just be an add-on from Gorey himself. $1<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22376\" alt=\"thesteamingpool2\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2-235x300.jpg\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2-802x1024.jpg 802w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2-196x250.jpg 196w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2-137x175.jpg 137w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2-29x38.jpg 29w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2-168x215.jpg 168w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/thesteamingpool2.jpg 839w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website The Steaming Pool Have you ever read any Edward Gorey books?
