Preface: "This book was modeled after the popular Victorian parlor game, the 'Exquisite Corpse'. It was played by a number of people, each drawing one segment of a 'corpse' on an accordion-folded piece of paper. Each segment was drawn without seeing the rest of the corpse. That was how we wrote and illustrated this book. One of us wrote a paragraph and sent a sentence to the other, which then became the first sentence of their paragraph. The story progressed and her unfolds."
