The Addams Family began not as a family, but as single nameless characters in Charles Addams’ single panel comics in the New Yorker.

I have looked for some time trying to find a publication order for the strips, but have come up empty handed. So I will be sharing them in the order they appear in the book The Addams Family Album on Wednesdays.

This strip features the character that presumably will become Uncle Fester, who Addams says resembled himself, plus a little more hair.
