On this episode, Halloween season comes to a spine-tingling conclusion with a look at Edward Gorey’s macabre masterwork The Gashlycrumb Tinies and Charles Addams’s altogether ooky Addams Family cartoons!
And we’re fortunate to be joined once again by Flop House co-host and award-winning television writer Dan McCoy (The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, Hell of a Week With Charlamagne Tha God)!
Dan unsurprisingly provides invaluable insight as a humor writer, cartoonist and horror aficionado, helping us pry the lid off such issues as Mad magazine, whether these works count as comics, and whether they belong in that crumbling Victorian manse known as … The Comics Canon!
