5.0 out of 5 stars
Early works of the master.,
By John Culleton "rowsereviews" (Eldersburg, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monster Rally (Paperback)
This 1950 collection is perhps a tad less sophisticated than some of his later work. But there are classics here that have stuck in my mind for at least that half-century. Who can forget "George, George, drop the keys!" Or the mothballed captain on the bridge of the mothballed warship? Or the ghoul (later dubbed Uncle Fester) laughing as others weep in the movie theater? I had to have this book. It is classic literature that won't be found in any prescribed reading list. I bought it for my grandchildren. John Culleton

5.0 out of 5 stars
Morbidity made hilarious,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Monster Rally (Paperback)
Even people who are not fans of morbid humor laugh at the cartoons of Charles Addams. The absurdity and incongruity of his characters will draw a smile from even the most stiff-lipped and sophisticated of persons. This collection has some of the best that he has ever inked. Some of my favorites are:
*) Where two men are tying a third to a track and a woman on a nearby hill says, "It may be none of my business, but there hasn't been a train over that line in eight years." *) A crowd is watching a movie and there are tears on nearly all the faces. However, an Addams character is laughing heartily. *) A man is sleeping outside in a hammock and a storm is brewing. His wife is connecting him to the lightning rod on the house. *) The editor of a magazine called "The Outdoor Boy" is sitting in a chair in his office. He is trying to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head with a slingshot. There is no one more morbidly funny than Charles Addams, he can take the most absurd and disgusting thoughts and make them hilarious.
