Helping celebrate is the entire Addams family—Morticia, Gomez, Cousin It, Pugsley, Wednesday, Lurch, and Uncle Fester. They are drawn in black and white and shown standing in front of their mansion and the Google logo.
A New Jersey native, Charles Samuel Addams was born in 1912 (on Elm Street, no less). He was an American cartoonist known for his particularly black humor and macabre characters. Some of the recurring characters, who became known as The Addams Family, became the basis for two live-action television series, two animated TV series, three motion pictures, and a Broadway musical.The man who originally created the Addams family would have been 100 years old today, if he hadn’t died in 1988. Charles Addams was a cartoonist at The New Yorker and began drawing the ghoulish yet humorous characters in 1938. Those characters eventually took on the author’s name and were made into a TV sitcom, an animated series, two feature films, and a Broadway musical. The characters as they appeared in Addams’ comic panels are today’s Google Doodle.
The family truly came to life in 1964, when a producer asked Addams to turn his comics into a TV series. The Addams Family was only on the air for two years, but can still be found in syndication.
