born in Yonkers and Jersey City, 1911 and 1914, always had a subscription to the New Yorker. Moved moved to California in 1963 for a job, my husband was 14. In the 1968/69 time frame when we started dating, I was introduced to the New Yorker and their outstanding cartoons. I seem to remember a book that was a collection of Addams' Family cartoons that his parent bought. I do believe if I looked hard enough I could find that book some where in our house. Maybe that is where I got my sense of humor, and the reason we live in a hundred year old house. Which has way too many cob webs on the outside.
