THE FIRST GOTHIC PRINCESSES

A rare comic strip


In 1938, a comic strip was published in the U.S. newspapers that made fun of the style and aesthetics of the typical American family of that country.

More than a comic strip, they were actually single-panel drawings, drawn by Charles Addams for various media outlets, especially The New Yorker.

And what was the satire of the American family? For It focused on the dark and the macabre, and the members of this curious family did not seem to be aware of the repellent effect they caused to their neighbors.

A curious fact is that these Addams are actually a small branch of an entire family clan scattered throughout the country. Yes, there are many Addams families scattered throughout the United States, and who knows, perhaps even abroad.

Another curious fact results in the lack of names of the members of this family, since for many years none of them had names. They were only baptized by the author when Charles Addams "drawings" became so popular that the production of the TV series was prepared, only in 1964!

This comic strip is important because it will influence pre-Gothic actresses from the 1950s, who in turn will greatly influence the creation of the Gothic sub-culture.
