Black Maria Author:Charles Addams To his millions of admirers we need say no more than this: herewith a deliciously diabolical, never-before-in-paperback-book-form supply of cartoons by the incomparable Charles Addams, who signed his cartoons as Chas Addams.
Cartoons from 1954 to 1960, including many of the Addams Family of later TV and movie fame. You can see these as a precursor to Gary Larson. Many don't have (don't need) captions, but I usually have to stop and think in order to get the joke.
