Thing jumped at Ibdis and startled him, and they were ultimately unable to come to an arrangement. (COMIC: Real Estate-Related Pun)
Behind the scenes
Cousin It is a recurring (copyrighted) character in The Addams Family, a series which has gone through many official adaptions and continuities. In many media, its name is spelled as “Itt”, with two Ts, but in the 1990s Barry Sonnenfeld movies, “It” as used instead. Real Estate-Related Pun included clues that its iteration of the Family was most closely based on those movies, including Morticia Addams being drawn to resemble actress Anjelica Huston's portrayal in those movies, suggesting the “It” spelling is appropriate. The movies' It was portrayed by John Franklin.
