<span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>

Doctor Mobogo is the Addams Family witch doctor. Gomez calls him in the episode Uncle Fester's Illness. When the call is placed, we see a village with thatched huts. He apparently speaks Swahili, since Gomez indicates that Mobogo greated him with "Jambo!"

Mobogo is also apparently familiar with the family, but he is too busy to make any more house calls.

Since Fester doesn't have enough electricity in him to run a toy train, Thing is lackluster, and even Zelda the vulture won't eat her dry bones, the Addams are forced to call a "regular doctor".

The new doctor doesn't inspire the same confidence that Dr. Mogobo does. For example, he doesn't yell or shake rattles, which is what Mogobo would do. Gomez also indicates that he was able to pay Mobogo in painted beads.

Trivia
