Editor's note -- To celebrate the centennial of the late, great cartoonist’s birth, Google feature on Jan. 7th a deft ghoulish “Doodle” in honor of Charles Addams, the longtime New Yorker magazine contributor who was a master of the macabre and a brilliant wit of the weird.




“I think he was so far ahead of his time by realizing that horror was funny,” Robert Mankoff, the New Yorker’s cartoon editor.

    Excellent! I missed it but a great idea and well done. Ooky. The GB-NYG game is another horror.

      Thanks! I didn't miss it and now it's immortalized here. Unless you're a Giants fan. The real horror was the DEN-NE massacre.

      I'm glad you like it. Sometimes cleverness is overrated.
