Captain's Library THE ADDAMS FAMILY "Visit to Fun City" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...the Addams Family pause in their cross-country journey to stay overnight in New York City's Central Park.

They encounter Benny and Ripoff, two disreputable sorts who perceive the Addamses to be "easy marks"!

Ignoring the extremely-improbable coincidence of having that particular document stuffed into Gomez's sleeve, there's two totally-ridiculous aspects to the letter!

1) Central Park wasn't even conceived until 1840, as the city of Manhattan grew northward!

So there's no way a First Nations chief in 1626 could have known of it!

2) "Powhattan" was Pocahontas' father...in Virginia!

We don't know the name of the Native American chief who sold Manhattan Island!

To Be Concluded...

TOMORROW!

You'll note the non-Addams characters aren't "on-model" (ie matching) the animated versions.

That, and the variations in the script from the aired episode "Addams Family in New York" would indicate that scripter Mark Evanier and artist Bill Ziegler were working from earlier versions of the script for "and had no model sheets for the non-Addams characters!
