This still-shot comes from the inspired, short, legendary TV series:

Now, if I tried to talk about The Addams Family here, then we'd be here all day, and much of that time would frankly be down to me bumbling around for words and specific episodes I half-remembered.
But actually, the whole franchise started with Charles Addams' deliciously, lovingly-morbid Addams Family comic art & strip series. You're in LUCK though if you were looking for that kind of thing, because one of our comics-sharing historians here has you covered!
That would be my mate @nocturne@slrpnk.net, who's taking the time to scan and upload his books / material to help create a comprehensive, major picture of the classic Addams cartoons.
That goodness is shared at this sub (altho there are maybe other places I don't know about):

Okay, I can see that interpretation, but no... there is obvious, serious love going on between these two, but here's the real point-- they've FREED themselves from the world of labels and subjectiveness, you see?
Yeah, I get your point in terms of a simple mathematical equation, i.e. "one plus negative-one equals zero," but honestly, that would constitute the most worthless take ever in trying to understand this lovely art / oeuvre / comic / series.
I think you misunderstood the comment you are replying to
