Jane Glickman's Copy of Favorite Haunts by Charles Addams

With all the souvenir drawings cartoonist Charles Addams has left for his many admirers to enjoy, it wasn't until yesterday, at least on this blog, that we saw him place Wednesday and Pugsley Addams together. Today we see Addams Family sister and brother sharing the page again, and from the very same February 16 sale at Potter & Potter Auctions, Inc., of Chicago. The 1977 drawing made for, we are informed, one Jane Glickman in her copy of Favorite Haunts (1976) shows a rather hefty Pugsley holding Wednesday, seated, on his shoulder. In addition, Addams has to contend with a bit of smudged ink, for which he improvises a creature called a blot.

With a presale estimate of $1,000 to $1,500, the book sold for an impressive $2,200, not including of course the $550 buyer's premium, tax, and shipping. It isn't only Pugsley who chooses to do some heavy lifting.
