Addams
Macabre cartoon family
Addams is a surname, most associated with two cultural touchstones.
Charles Addams was the cartoonist whose macabre New Yorker drawings spawned The Addams Family—a ghoulish clan whose cheerful embrace of the morbid inverts suburban normality.
Jane Addams was the American social reformer and Nobel Peace Prize winner who founded Hull House in Chicago.
