Continuing with last week’s theme of putting the child of woe to bed, here we have Gomez doing This Little Piggy on Wednesday’s toes, as Morticia looks on while learning on the wall just inside the doorway.
"This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none, this ltle piggy went wee wee wee all the way home, and this little piggy…
For anyone familiar with the show, there is octopus art on the foot of Wednesday’s bed, Pugsley had a pet octopus.
As an aside, does anyone know what the font used in the caption is called?


Matrix by Emigre – definitely not the original font, Matrix wasn’t created until 1986
Here is the strip from the book Addams Family Album published in 1947.
Yup. Specifically, the Matrix II Tall OT Reg font: note the below-the-baseline ┰.
And that very unusual lowercase ‘g’. https://www.emigre.com/Fonts/Matrix-II lets you compare them all.
I think the OT variants are missing there. The closest, Tall Regular, is not quite the same, the T is prolonged rather than moved. I found Tall OT Reg at https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/matrix-ii#details-section matrix-ii-ext-ot-narrow
This book was published in 2010, not surprising they used a modern font.
