Had a dream this month's Happy Meal Toy was The Addams Family (in classic John Astin-led form). And not just run-o-the-mill human Addams Family, but now with demon fly form.
You can return to human form by pressing a button: fly wings retract, plastic feet deploy.
Never watched much Addams Family, (being a car enthusiast, it was all Munsters for me), but now, as a mature adult with a marriage of my own, I can really appreciate the sexually charged relationship between Gomez and Morticia--so preferable to Herman's saccharine, mother-son vibe with Lily.
I am proud that this was drawn completely from memory, except Wednesday (?? the little girl), who I originally remembered as bean-pole tall. After sketching everyone I wanted to check what kind of coat Gomez wore--a day coat or dbl breasted?--and seeing Google Images, I knew I had to correct my Wednesday interpretation (must have been Christina Ricci's mom for the original series).
So I folded...so what? (and look how bad that "activating hand" looks!)
Just through the April Door.

We'll see if all my color dabbling/learning makes it into this piece.
The dabbling and math for complements helped a bit.
Sped me up.
Took me as long to do ...
