Philip Nel just pointed out to me that Lane Smith and Bob Shea had scooped me on the “Andy Warhol, Children’s Illustrator” post with an actual picture book the wiggy guy did.

A blog full of my favorite snarky, subversive, weird, dotty, bizarre, clever, and not-your-usual children’s book books. They’ve got stuff by Gorey, Hoffmann, Belloc, and a whole bunch more.
