Hungry cannibals, witches gathering around a cauldron, or a king over his blackbird pie often populated his celebrated cartoons. And, of course, Morticia of the \"Addams Family\" was an avid cook, adding a touch of eye of newt or popping over to the neighbors for a cup of cyanide. So it should come as no wonder that in the 1960s Charles Addams was dabbling with a \"cookbook\" idea. Addams discovered and compiled some bizarre recipes from antiquated and out-of-the-way sources. These recipes have very Addams-like names, such as \"Mushrooms Fester\" or \"Hearts Stuffed,\" and serve as a perfect complement to his drawings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eChas Addams(TM) Half-Baked Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of his work on the world of food and eating, featuring many Addams drawings that have never been seen before, as well as some of his all-time classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChas Addams\u003c\/b\u003e was the creator of the \"Addams Family\" cartoons, which first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and were the inspiration for the popular \u003ci\u003eThe Addams Family\u003c\/i\u003e television show and movies.
