Lurch…”You Rang?”
Lurch (whose first name is unknown) is a fictional character created by cartoonist Charles Addams as a manservant to The Addams Family. In the original television series, Lurch was played by Ted Cassidy, who used the famous catchphrase: “You rang?”
Some of the cast
Gomez
Gomez Addams is the master of the Addams household and the Addams patriarch, married to Morticia.
Morticia
Morticia Addams is the matriarch of the Addams family and is married to Gomez.
Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester is a bald, barrel-shaped man with dark, sunken eyes and a devilish grin. He seemed to carry an electrical charge, as he could illuminate a light bulb by sticking it in his mouth.
Grandmama
Grandmama is a witch who deals in potions, spells, hexes, and even fortune-telling. Her trademarks were her shawl and grey, frizzy hair.
Wednesday
Wednesday is the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams and was said to have been named after the phrase, “Wednesday’s child is full of woe.”
Hand
Thing is another member of the Addams family. He was a shy creature mostly seen in the background of Addams’ drawings; however, the television series suggested it was a disembodied hand named “Thing,” and was Gomez’s friend since childhood.

/ October 31, 2013Those are all very good and look just like the characters! I really liked that show, and The Munsters, which I always used to call The Monsters.
Happy Halloween, Deb!
Deb

I adored the Munsters too!
That’s funny, when I was a kid I called them the Monster’s too! 🙂
Happy Halloween!
Binky
/ October 31, 2013That is funny. Maybe a lot of kids called them The Monsters! They looked like monsters when you’re little.

Binky
/ November 1, 2013A month ago? You prepare ahead!
Deb
/ November 2, 2013I didn’t plan on purpose. I had drawn Lurch, got ready to post him then thought I’d save him for Halloween. Then Lurch convinced me to keep drawing them whenever I had a chance.
Binky
/ November 2, 2013Well that was a good decision. They certainly are appropriate for Halloween.
