Charles Addams was renowned for his depictions of love (or lack
thereof) in his cartoons. The passion of Morticia and Gomez Addams,
the lonely desires of Fester, the numerous grim and ghastly fights
between husband and wife -- all found their way into Addams's
signature drawings.
Addams's concept of love was quite a bit different from the
traditional idea of romance. Forget roses and chocolate, Addams
will show you how to woo a mermaid or celebrate an anniversary on a
desert island. Or how to keep your husband on a leash -- literally.
Learn what to do when your prince stays a frog, even after you've
kissed him.
Compiled from Addams's personal archive, many of these cartoons
are previously unpublished gems, while others are Addams classics.
The cartoons in "Chas Addams Happily Ever After" run the gamut from
ecstatic love to disappointed affection to murderous obsession and
demonstrate that love really does hurt.
At the time of his death, Charles Addams was working on this
project, a cookbook with never-before-seen artwork and never before
tasted and very macabre recipes-published here for the first time,
along with some classic Addams cartoons about food and cooking.
Food and eating were a couple of Charles Addams's favorite
subjects. Hungry cannibals, witches gathering around a cauldron, or
a king over his blackbird pie often populated his celebrated
cartoons. And, of course, Morticia of the "Addams Family" was an
avid cook, adding a touch of eye of newt or popping over to the
neighbors for a cup of cyanide. So it should come as no wonder that
in the 1960s Charles Addams was dabbling with a "cookbook" idea.
Addams discovered and compiled some bizarre recipes from antiquated
and out-of-the-way sources. These recipes have very Addams-like
names, such as "Mushrooms Fester" or "Hearts Stuffed," and serve as
a perfect complement to his drawings. Chas Addams (TM) Half-Baked
Cookbook is a collection of his work on the world of food and
eating, featuring many Addams drawings that have never been seen
before, as well as some of his all-time classics.
