Gahan Wilson was a prolific cartoonist/illustrator with a very dark sense of humor. His style didn't easily lend itself to commercial advertising but I know I was surprised once, seeing his art in an ad. He's most well-known from his panel cartoons in Playboy & other major publications.

Gahan Wilson (1930-2019) #BOTD

An American writer, critic and cartoonist known for his illustrations depicting horror-fantasy situations. In the cartoonist's gene pool he sits comfortably in-between Charles Addams and Gary Larson, and as illustrator sideways to Edward Gorey. I loved his deadpan cartoons in The Magazine of #Fantasy and #ScienceFiction and elsewhere.

Here’s one of my all-time favorite cartoons by Gaian Wilson

On this day, November 21st, in 2019: Gahan Wilson died. He was 89.

Today's book club: All of his books are wonderful, but I love "Gahan Wilson: 50 years of Playboy Cartoons"

Today's screening: Gahan Wilson: Born Dead, Still Weird

Today's wonderful fact: Wilson was married to the author Nancy Winters for 53 years.

Today's quote: “Yeah, I was born dead.” (He was a blue baby.)
