Charles Addams

The delightfully frightful Addams Family has tickled the dark side of the public's funny bone for nearly 90 years. With the creation of Morticia, Gomez, Uncle Fester, and the whole quirky gang, Charles Addams put a satirical spin on the "ideal family." His eccentric characters have become icons of popular culture, from cartoon strips in The New Yorker to television series, feature films, a Broadway musical, and much more. Thanks to this calendar's 12 cartoons, you'll revel in Addams' deadpan wit all year long.
