![]() ![]() Because Addams had created his own comic world of the bizarre and macabre, writing gags for him was fairly easy-sort of like writing for a sitcom. Interestingly, a number of my contemporaries-Arnie Levin, Sam Gross, and Mick Stevens-did supply gag ideas for Addams during those years, although he also created his own. Our paths crossed once and I shook the great man’s hand, which was largish, as was the rest of him. Addams did not work at The New Yorker offices, but came in occasionally to drop off his cartoons. I started cartooning for The New Yorker in 1977, and Addams died in 1988. How long and how well did you know Charles, as colleagues and friends? The links will take you to the cartoons as they appeared in our pages, via the digital edition. I found my answers more interesting than I expected, and I hope you will, too. Recently, I answered some questions about the cartoonist Charles Addams, posed in an e-mail by Patrick Healy of the New York Times, who was writing about the new “Addams Family” musical. ![]()
