706.0. "Charles Addams, Cartoonist: R.I.P." by MARKER::KALLIS (Anger's no replacement for reason) Fri Sep 30 1988 10:36

                      -<the passing of a special person>-
                      
    Last night, Charles Addams [better known as "Chas Addams"] died.
    Many people knew of him only indirectly, through the television
    show, _The Addams Family_; however, his cartoons festooned _The
    New Yorker_ for generations.  
    
    My first book of cartoons was _Drawn and Quartered_, a collection
    of vintage Addams.  Since then, a number of others, including _Creature
    Comforts_, has been published.
    
    Addams' style was distinctive; his touch was unique. "Charles Addams
    House" has entered the English language as meaning a weird, somewhat
    run-down Victorian house.
    
    He will be missed.
