ADDAMS, CHARLES SAMUEL

1912–88, American cartoonist, b. Westfield, N.J. Beginning in 1935, Addams's work appeared regularly in the New Yorker magazine. Members of a ghoulish family were his chief subject matter. Famed for their wit, fantasy, and sense of the macabre, his cartoons are collected in Drawn and Quartered (1942), Addams and Evil (1947), Monster Rally (1950), Home Bodies (1954), Black Maria (1960), Charles Addams' Mother Goose (1967), and My Crowd (1970). Addams's characters were the basis for a television series and two motion pictures.
