I found a larger image of this Budd Root cover from CAVEWOMAN MONSTER DREAMS. I was going nuts trying to recall who the hairy character in the derby hat is in the lower left.
It's "Cousin Itt", one of the fun but creepy relatives on
The Addams Family tv series. With some other family members framed on the wall in the background.
https://www.cbr.com/addams-family-members-ranked/Some might not recognize "Rat-Fink", the signature character of
Ed "Big-Daddy" Roth, who did cartoons for t-shirtss that evolved into
hot rod monster trading cards in the 1960's and 1970's, and spray-painted similar stuff on actual hot rod cars, and built hot rod cars. I love the way Budd Root inserts these bits of nostalgia and popular culture in his interior art and covers.
