ギャシュリークラムのちびっ子たち―または遠出のあとで

The Gashlycrumb Tinies has a unique blend of macabre humor and childlike imagery. I'm curious about what sparked Gorey's creative process behind this peculiar combination.

The artwork perfectly captures the morbid humor, but I kept wondering how Gorey balanced appealing visuals with dark themes. Was that intentional?

The book feels layered with irony, but I wonder if Gorey intended it as a serious commentary on childhood or just dark fun.
