Nick Cave will not abide by your inane rules of decency. If his satanic cartoon doppelganger wants to suck on one of several large breasts located in the bottom of a gigantic stomach, there's absolutely nothing that's going to stop him.Backed by the sinister-as-ever "Mickey Mouse & the Goodbye Man,"...

Backed by the sinister-as-ever "Mickey Mouse & the Goodbye Man," the gritty opener from Grinderman 2, this animated clip is a page right out of Edward Gorey's creepy sketchbook.

Peep it below, if you dare.
