Addams Family

It was 1938 when the Charles Addams cartoon depicting a quirky group, The Addams Family, first appeared in The New Yorker.  In his words, “A closely knit family, the real head being Morticia – although each of the others is a definite character…  Gomez and Pugsley are enthusiastic.  Morticia is even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly.  Wednesday is her mother’s daughter.  The house is a wreck, of course, but this is a house-proud family just the same and every trap door is in good repair.  Money is no problem.
