So, i looked it up, and Cousin Itt first appeared in the Addams Family show in February 1965, after appearing in a 1963 Charles Addams cartoon.
I kinda wonder if Magritte actually saw the show (did it even air in Belgium??) or cartoon panel, or if it's just parallel thinking.
Matt Keeley, or the discovery of television among the bees
