Today's tie is an unsolved mystery! It originally belonged to my EKU comrade Gary Kuhnhenn. The art is indisputably that of Edward Gorey (1925-2000), who was "an American writer, Tony Award-winning costume designer, and artist, noted for his own illustrated books as well as cover art and illustration for books by other writers. His characteristic pen-and-ink drawings often depict vaguely unsettling narrative scenes in Victorian and Edwardian settings." All watchers of Mystery! on PBS can recall his wonderful animations of cemetery scenes, strange deaths and police sleuthing.
