Das Buch ist echt schön gestaltet. Bei manchen Scherzen muss man allerdings etwas genauer hinsehen bis man sie versteht. Je mehr Details man sieht, umso genialer findet man es, da die Scherze sehr durchdacht und facettenreich gestaltet sind und der Witz oft in den Details liegt.

---Achtung Spoiler!----


Mein Favorit ist die Zeichnung zu "Albert! Schon wieder einer von deinen Kurzschlüssen!", als Albert sich an der Deckenlampe erhängen wollte und diese abgerissen ist und eine Frau in den Raum kommt.

Another great collection of Addams cartoons for my cartoonist collection.
The man was a genius.
(some of the panels aren't as good as others which is why it's a 4 rating, but he's such a great comic mind and artist!!)

A little disappointed that there wasn’t as much as of the Addams Family in this but still great art.

I’m not into macabre, but I do like Charles Addams. There’s just something about his sly, subtle, and yes dark, humor.

Happy I tracked down a copy of this book.

Growing up I always saw this book on my parent's book shelf and assumed it was some cheesy Christmas story book until I really sat and looked at it and made the connection. The cover art had thrown me, it was the Addams family! Chas Addams! I couldn't wait to crack it I had fallen in love with the movies and even liked the TV series my dad had loved as a kid, so naturally I Loved the root of the Family's freakishness! I was not disappointed!

I didn't understand every comic in this book, but I did enjoy all of them! I especially liked the ones with the hidden additions!!!
