He liked to build gadgets likes missiles, ray-guns and disintegrators. One of his pastimes was experimenting with dynamite. One can not forget that his hobbies included collecting stop signs from busy intersections. He once collected a "bridge out" sign.
Charles Addams, writer for "The Addams Family", helped select Ken Weatherwax for the role of Pugsley. Charles felt that Ken was perfect for the part because he possessed a maniacal smile and a very strange personality.
