A Treasure Trove Of Obscure Charles Addams Drawings Via Attempted Bloggery
Here’s something appropriate for a “Wednesday” Spill: 51 Charles Addams cartoons that appeared in his mid-to-late 1950s strip, Out Of This World. It’s not a stretch to suggest that most of us have never seen the majority of these drawings before. Go here to see them on Attempted Bloggery
Stephen Nadler (the fellow behind the curtain at Attempted Bloggery) writes:
“Between late 1955 and early 1957, New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams created a weekly black-and-white newspaper comic panel, Out of This World, for the McClure Syndicate. It would be reasonable for one to surmise that Out of This World was made up of cartoons rejected by The New Yorker. Addams thought highly enough of a good number of the cartoons from this strip to include them in his collection Nightcrawlers (1957).”
