4.0 out of 5 stars More Oddities from Addams, August 31, 2009

This review is from: Creature Comforts (Paperback)

Many of these books by Chas Addams are going out of print and can only be found at the local library, if it all. If you're a lover of the macabre, or if you are someone who enjoys cartooning and drawing, you'll get a kick out of this book.

This book depicts every day scenarios with a slightly warped, twisted or uncanny fix. There are NO Addams Family cartoons here. It is more of a focus on crazy things that happen in our daily lives (and at funerals) with a few witchy caricatures thrown in for fun. What is so baffling about Addams' humor is his complexity, for some of these drawings are like being inside an M.C. Escher drawing. Helps you to get a little laugh on the absurd in life. And since this book is now becoming vintage? You'll be able to see things have not changed with us humans that much! If Addams were alive, he'd be cartooning the ghosts in our machines...
