The Gashlycrumb Tinies is an abecedarian book written by Edward Gorey that was first published in 1963. Gorey tells the tale of 26 children (each representing a letter of the alphabet) and their untimely deaths in rhyming dactylic couplets, accompanied by the author’s distinctive black and white illustrations.”  (Wikipedia.org)

ANIMATED SATURDAYS

I’m starting a new feature on LawrenceRSpencer.com.  I’m calling it “ANIMATED SATURDAYS”.  When I started in the computer industry in 1982 the hottest phenomenon in graphics was the Amiga PC.  (Whatever happened to that?)  Anyway, until the advent of You Tube and the whole video craze, FaceBook, Tweets, Flash, animation, 3-D movies and all the other techno-explosions that keep happening every day, a simple ANIMATED GIF file was a pretty cool thing.  Of course, today, it’s “old” and “uncool”.  But, I think the people who take the time to edit them together and post them should be honored for their industry and tongue-in-cheek artistry.  After all, it is an image.  Just think of it as a very, very short video clip!  Enjoy.
