It's hard to think of a greater artist of the single-panel cartoon than Charles Addams. The rest seem to range from amusing at best to downright awful.

Sorry, my massively ill-informed opinion doesn't warrant a new page.

Not sure I properly understand this one, but I like it.

This one's not even that witty, but the fact that I had to think about it for a bit made me laugh once I got it.

I think he's meant to grimacing in pain, something like that?

Yes, he's grimacing in pain when the dog bites him on the ankle, which should be his stilt. He seems to have unfeasibly long real legs.

FredNurke

At least one, anyway.

manticore

Or maybe he's become at one with his stilts, like the people in The Third Policeman with their bicycles. Who can say?

The butterfly and unicorn illustrations are beautiful.

Yes, I think it's just that, a weird image of an entirely regulated, predictable world. Not exactly funny, but I like the image.

Love the briefcase and Minotaur ones. He's fucking amazing - beautifully drawn and with the just the right mix of humour, subtle intelligence and the uncanny.

It's scary and funny like lots of Addams..... [nb]The people in the houses are so conventional they even have identical storm damage and react in the same way.[/nb]

These are great. The high rise one is so well drawn.
