Caption: "Go right ahead, Pomfert. The entries closed two weeks ago.
Not Framed.
As Fred Taraba points out... " The Pugsley character in the striped shirt is the only one amused in a horrified crowd at the sight of an invading spacecraft". Addams revisits themes and used this concept in one of his most famous works "Sad Movie" where Fester is laughing in a horror movie. (see side by side) .
