nocturne@slrpnk.netSynopsis
Fester has taken to intercepting the daily newspaper deliveries. He’s been scanning the lonely hearts columns looking for a bride. Fester finally fesses up and writes a letter, with Gomez happy to snap a picture to go with it. Days pass without a response. When Miss Carver (Merry Anders) appears at the door, she’s mistaken for Fester’s correspondent. She appears to be a desperate wanna-be housewife with suitcase in hand ready to move in. She’s actually a door-to-door cosmetics saleswoman, and her smooth and mildly seductive sales pitch is mistaken for a callous disregard in matters of the heart. When she discovers what she’s been mistaken for, she quickly leaves the house.
There are no direct comic references in this episode. Morticia is knitting a sweater for Cousin Eustace, and I could have sworn there was a strip where she has a similar sweater, but I could not find it tonight.
