Fred Taraba's website offers for sale this preliminary cartoon sketch in charcoal of witches at a cauldron. It is, of course, by the legendary Charles Addams, master of the macabre. It has been available for over a year now, so the comment that it's "Just in time for Hallowe'en" is once again accurate.
Artist: Charles Addams (1912-1988)
