Tentative promise to vivian and samchevre—I’ll try to write a draft of the presentation and post it here beforehand. I’ll also link to whatever final poster we come up with. My inclination is very much with the Nomran Rockwell—there’s a lovely Christmassy one in the top corner of the second page of the family collection, suitable for december. But I also like the freedom from want suggestion and the munsters (too obscure I suspect), and the clintons for that matter (as a suggestion, not the clintons themselves for whom I have no fond feelings). Further suggestions still welcome!

Harry

There is a sweet pic of the CLinton’s Hillary on the leftChelsea in the middle and Bill on the right all holding hands and strolling witht he pooch in the NY Times recently (a profile on Chelsea). It might be best since all families are dysfunctional in some of the ways they are!

I voted for Rockwell above, but on second thought there has got to be some incredibly appropriate still from The Lion in Winter. The best I could find was this:

So far, “Saturn devouring his children” is in first place. King Lear and Darth are tied for second.

In the spirit of John Quiggin's new post above and our ongoing dark humor - here's one.

This family dysfunctional enough for you? Or this one? Hey, you can't beat the British royal family's values, and they've got centuries of practice.

Don’t most of the suggestions being made have copyright issues?

I assume that all “Simpsons” references are to the cartoon Simpsons.

Slightly obscure, perhaps, but can there be a better statement of family values than this? Unless, of course, populism was the way to go.
