Gashlycrumb Tinies, Anyone?

J recently went on a hunt to find the Edward Gorey book and when he did he was thrilled. I remember watching Mystery with my mother when I was young and the introduction was animated by Gorey. The intro was something that I'd never seen before, so it was cool. I'm doing more reading about this author and everything that he's done. In the meantime, am I the only one whose never heard of him?
