Birthday Salute to Charles Samuel Addams ( January 7, 1912 – September 29, 1988), cartoonist known for his macabre characters. His cartoons appeared regularly in The New Yorker and he also created a syndicated comic strip, Out of This World, which ran in 1956. Charles Addams drew more than 1,300 cartoons over the course of his life.
