Google Honors "Graveyard Guru" Charles Addams With Doodle.The Internet search leader is celebrating what would have been the 100th anniversary of Addams Family creator Charles Addams with Doodle with creepy, kooky, mysteriously spooky family.

Click it and you'll get a page with search results for the designer, including a link to the Tee and Charles Adams Foundation, which provided the Google Doodle.
While the TV series of the 1960s and snapping his fingers jingle might come to mind when you think of the Addams Family, the characters actually had their genesis before - in cartoons, many of which appeared in The New Yorker from 1938. Initially, the family had no names and did not get them before the show was in development.
Addams, which attracted more than 1,300 cartoons in his life, was born in New Jersey, January 7, 1912. From an early age, his father encouraged him to draw.
He created comics for a high school newspaper, attended several universities now hold in his honor and in 1933 joined the magazine True Detective, where he was responsible for editing photos of corpses.
Addams was known for his creative work of macabre characters.
According to Linda Davis, who wrote a biography of Addams, he became famous for the loss tips, which earned him monikers like "Van Gogh of the Ghouls" and "the guru cemetery."
Addams was also recognized for his interpretations of the architecture that came through his art.
In fact, the Addams Family mansion was something to see. The cartoon version was dilapidated and condemned, but on television it was a museum and Gomez was never to pick up some strange curiosity. And remember the bed of nails and other accoutrements painful family happily use?
The Addams on television was totally unaware of their eccentricity, and that was their charm. While the black and white show that aired for two seasons, millions have benefited from reruns for decades. If you want to watch now, watch this YouTube channel that offering several episodes.
Several adaptations followed the original cartoons and popular television show, including an animated series and several movies in the 90s.
