Quirky trending towards dark humor, perhaps gothic humor if that's a thing. Think of a product of Edward Gorey and The Far Side. Cultural rules have changed since published; so by modern standards some of the cartoons might be uncomfortable, unacceptable, even taboo. But, at the same time, there's nothing in terms of graphic language, violence, or sexual content and so in this way, it feels tame by today's standards

The Adaams Family you may have seen on TV is a more family and advertiser-friendly version of this. By that I mean the humor is more suited to older teens/adults than for kids. I found my copy at a used bookstore and It's a keeper. ( )

Nothing beats the original Addams Family ( )

A delightful collection of some of the best cartoons to come out of 20th century America. Some have racist elements regarding indigenous peoples, but nothing too terrible. I really enjoy the Addams Family cartoons and the other macabre illustrations which are similar in nature and content. This is definitely worth picking up and easily read in one sitting. ( )

Twisted. Delightful. Still hilarious after all these years. ( )

I'm always amazed at how few of the Addams family cartoons there are compared to all the rest. All of Addams' collections are great. Get this one because you love all his cartoons. If you skip through it just for the Addams family ones, you'll be disappointed and you'll have missed a lot of great cartoons. ( )
