The family is an amalgam of
The Addams Family (although their Snagglepuss Cartoon came out Three years before The Addamses got their TV Show) and Hanna Barbera's own "Gruesomes" from
The Flintstones (again the Scientists appeared first).
I don't know why, but I really identify with the weird little guy. If anybody ever finds a copy of issue #4, let me know. (that illo in my "welcome Back" post is from another Gold Key comic, "
The Little Monsters". That series ran much longer, and was published more frequently.)
The Scientists also appeared as a backup feature in some issues of Gold Key's
TopCat comic, but I haven't seen any of those yet.
