1925-2000
an aloof, eccentric, absurdly talented author and illustrator well known for his illustrated stories, many of which are unplaceably illboding or passively macabre, in tone or outright. his characters seemed to be placed in another time, from 1900 through 1930 perhaps, and there was something in his art and humor that caused many fans to initially mistake him for either English or dead. his style of drawing varied considerably from book to book, some illustations impossibly detailed and dark (The West Wing), others less so (The Eclectic Abecedarium). he lived in New York City for a while, and then on Cape Cod.

I'm deeply impressed when I watch a war movie, especially the first or the second world war, and the gory details.

Get the gorry mug.Located in Washington state, in between Port Orchard and Bremerton. Gorst takes less than 45 seconds to drive through. It is known for it's numbers of espresso stands, which are all run by half naked woman. Such as "Espresso gone wild" and "Natte Latte". Also located in this run down, pathetic attempt at a decent city, is Toys Topless. This is a strip club which is painted every other month and still looks like shit. Rumor has it, a woman with one arm is the best stripper. You won't enjoy your stay at Gorst, but you won't have a chance too, because by the time you open your eyes from blinking, you will have already drove through it.
Boy 1: Hey dude, you wanna go to Gorst?
Boy 2: hahah. That joke never gets old.
Boy 1: haha. I know right?
Boy 2: hahah. That joke never gets old.
