The Subway Surprise,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Addams, 1955. In this classic Charles Addams cartoon, the ordinary commute on the New York subway takes an unexpected and humorous turn. A group of passengers, all focused on their own concerns and distractions, are caught off-guard by the antics of an unassuming old lady. Seated across from them, she appears to be knitting a simple sweater, her needles clicking rhythmically in the cramped confines of the subway car. Suddenly, the passengers' attention is drawn to the growing garment, as a second neck hole emerges from the fabric, much to their astonishment and alarm. The old lady, seemingly oblivious to the commotion she's causing, continues to knit, her expression unchanged as she adds the final stitches to the bizarre creation. The absurdity of the situation is heightened by the contrast between the mundane setting of the subway and the fantastical, almost surreal, nature of the old lady's knitting project. The passengers' reactions range from shock and confusion to amusement and resignation, as they come to accept that, in the world of Charles Addams, the unexpected is always just around the corner. This delightful cartoon, created in 1955, showcases Addams' unique ability to find humor in the everyday and the extraordinary, making it a timeless addition to the world of comic art.
