	NPR : The Father of the Addams Family
		Addams was the creator of the Addams Family -- the warped and gruesome stars of magazine cartoons, a TV show and two movies.
		Addams originals were owned by Roald Dahl, Evelyn Waugh, John O'Hara, Ray Bradbury, Herbert Marshall, Ronald Coleman, "a New Haven doctor who specializes in medical humor," and a fortunate few others, including a friend who hung her two classic Addams cartoons on a wall with a Picasso and a Léger.
		Though Addams had described death as "a kind of cozy condition" that he thought shouldn't be too upsetting, he was also a collector; perhaps all the memento mori and the preoccupation with death and violence in his cartoons revealed an attempt to resist the inevitable by literally building a fortress against it.

	BookPage Nonfiction Review: Charles Addams
		Charles Addams was born in 1912 to a middle-class New Jersey family, raised by humorous and affectionate parents, got into the normal amount of childhood mischief, and grew from a smiling child to a smiling adult.
		While Addams might be pictured as a connoisseur of the gruesome—an autopsy platform turned into a coffee table—he was charming and personable.
		Addams had his share of minor travails—usually about women and money—but he was loved by most people that knew him, and had a happy, productive life.

	DVD Verdict Review - Addams Family Values
		The Addams Family began in the 1930s as a comic in The New Yorker drawn by Charles Addams.
		The strip featured many members of the fictional Addams clan (I hope they're fictional at least), but Charles Addams did not caption much of his artwork, so the characters did not gain defined personalities (or even names!) until the television show based on the strip debuted in 1964.
		The Addams family is the embodiment of the unfulfilled desire—not just in me, but in many people—to fall out of lockstep with the shiny happy people and enjoy being nasty and macabre.
