This strip was previously unpunished. I really enjoy Addams unpunished works, the sketched lines, the idea of a joke, some of them turn into a published strip. However, i do think this is one that ever made it into a published strip.
As there was a lot of discussion about Thing, or The Thing, last week i wanted to share another of them.
For those familiar with the show may recognize Lurch is not playing the harpsichord, something he is well known to do.
Since this strip was never published we can only guess at the full nature of it. Grandmama is playing music, Gomez is directing the group consisting of Morticia, who does not appear to be enjoying herself, Fester, who does appear to be having a good time, and number of others i do not recognize, while Lurch serves refreshments, and Thing looks on from the second floor with a party blower.
Are they practicing to go caroling? I think Thing's party favor suggests not. What are they celebrating? Whatever it is, it looks like it is about 6 minutes to midnight. Maybe they are ringing in the new year?
