Who wrote the original Addams Family stories?

The original Addams Family stories were written by American cartoonist Charles Addams. He created the characters for The New Yorker magazine in the 1930s. The Addams Family is an iconic and beloved pop culture phenomenon that has been around for decades.

Addams was born in Westfield, New Jersey, in 1912, and went on to study at the University of Pennsylvania. He began to draw cartoons while studying there, and moved to New York City in 1935. He was hired by The New Yorker magazine in 1938 and began to draw cartoons for them.

In 1938, Addams submitted a series of cartoons featuring a mysterious and eccentric family living in a gothic mansion. The series was a hit and Addams continued to draw them until his death in 1988.
