does anyone else see an homage to Edward Gorey in this one?

they don't miss a trick!

SIGH--who is or was Edward Gorey, please?

Have you ever seen Mystery! on PBS? The one that Diana Rigg long-time hosted? The opening titles and closing credits are animation based on Gorey drawings.

YES!

That's Edward Gorey, AKA Ogdred Weary, AKA Mrs. Regera Dowdy

Diana Rigg, my favourite Avenger.
