Charles Addams and the Addams family

Appearance can be deceiving.  First looks are not always revealing.  Chrles Addams (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Addams) is one artists I find to be interesting.  He was a cartoonist for the New Yorker.  He had also been the creator of the Addams Family.  He have also done a few catoon that had gone into insotry.  One of them is called «The skier»  (https://www.google.ca/search?q=the+skier+cartoon+charles+addams&dcr=0&tbm=isch&source=iu&pf=m&ictx=1&fir=c_NvNKBkXDLhkM%253A%252CM_rByg1y9nAIMM%252C_&usg=__PaOdhxva5CwHAtyUz3F2E9s2UY4%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit2P6HzJbXAhUUyYMKHYYBAeUQ9QEIKjAA#imgrc=c_NvNKBkXDLhkM:)
It is a skier that leaves sky trails between a tree.  How did he do it?  It is a bit challenging.  It makes me remember a cartoon with Sylvester and Tweety where something similar happen but the skies goes on but not Sylvester.

Other good cartoons done by Charles Addams deal with relationship; between husband and wives .  I could not find the cartoon but there is one where a couple are in their background.  The husband had been swallowed up by a big snake.  The wives doesn't see it and say something among the line «stop making all that noise!»  He had at least 3 wives (not at the same times), he may had been a bit cynical even if he was happier with his last wive.

In a way, he have created a family that suited him, even if it was on paper.  The family he created had a strong individuality but at the same time, they are a clan.  They stick together even if they are made up by individuals.  By just looking at this familial creation, he created an utopial family even if he had failing in his personal life.  He was not a perfect guy.  I have read his biography (https://www.amazon.ca/Charles-Addams-Cartoonists-Linda-Davis/dp/0679463259/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1509307695&sr=8-5&keywords=charles+addams).   He was a womanizer.  I don't excuse him even if he look like Walter Matthau (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Matthau).  I just find he used his experiences to makes funny cartoon and create a family that is standing the test of time.  His creation is more known than himself now.  It is a good case where a person with some negative traits  produce an intersting body of art.
