Delightfully disturbing!

Lenore is a creepy little dead girl with no sense of her own strength, or really any idea of right and wrong. She dresses as the queen of the Fairy Gnomes then kills all her subjects because a boy threw a lawn gnome at her once... she has dreams of dancing in flowering fields wearing a bunny on her head with a pumpkin headed scarecrow, when suddenly tentacles burst out of its torso and pull her in as it bursts into flame laughing Bwa ha ha ha wickedly... she has gas, very very bad gas... she likes to have tea parties but woops adds drain cleaner instead of sugar. I never thought I might say this, but I love her dead kitties.
I love this creepy, dismaying, cuddly girl and her plethora of dead friends so much! Some day there's going to be a term for this sort of thing -- you know, zombie bunnies and kittens with adorable, blood-tipped claws and such. Like "snuggle-goth" or something.
This is the second collection of Lenore's deliciously morbid adventures and will certainly appeal to fans of the previous book. The stories were, in my opinion, quite a bit better in this collection with far fewer duds and instances of eyeroll-inducing immaturity, but the poetry is still pretty bad. Nevertheless, Dirge's skill is noticeably improved and Wedgies is all the more enjoyable as a result.
A collection of very dark, twisted and demented cartoons about a little dead girl who leaves devastation in her wake.

The ideas and art in this comic are warped in the extreme and yet still quite whimsical. It's one of those books you think you shouldn't be laughing at and yet you can't help yourself.
More Lenore awesomeness including the origin of Mr. Chippy. Liked this one better than the 1st one but not as much as the 3rd one. Now I just have to decide which picture to get tattooed on me (they actually have pages titled "Dope Ass Tattoo Flash".
Sick, twisted, funny and very well drawn. Brilliant.
I like those short stories. A lot of horror-inspired humor.
