A lot the single panel cartoons of Charles Addams appeared in The New Yorker, and a lot them didn't feature the particular characters we know and fondly remember as the Addams Family, they just had an offbeat sense of the bizarre, and often featured completely different characters. Some are even more than one panel in length, but those are rare. I own a couple of paperbacks (Homebodies and Drawn and Quartered) that collect these memorable and macabre masterpieces, and really, only a handful have the characters we've come to know and love. And, if turning 'Peanuts', a three panel strip, into a Broadway musical was a daunting task, you can imagine the dilemma faced by writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. Thankfully, after much revising (a friend saw a preview in Chicago that ran over 3 hours), they seem to have got THE ADDAMS FAMILY right, or as close to the original lunacy as one can expect.
