Charles Addams and Doctor Seuss were the first artists I knew by name and had books by... warped my whole life! This is a tribute to the first artist I knew who exclusively did monsters and the macabre!

Fabulous artwork! Not only amusing, but as a devotee of 'The Addams Family' and Charles Addams, also quite touching. I was obsessed with my father's paperback collections of Charles Addams' cartoons when I was a small child. They thoroughly warped me too! ;)
