What always struck me about Grandpa is that thousand-yard stare-from-hell of his; I wonder what's going on behind it? He really doesn't seem to care about the kids teasing him, only Mom does - and if she knows or cares what's really eating him, we don't see it.

The idea that artists should be held responsible for what people think is stupid and dangerous; it is, itself, the latest incarnation of fascism (which really shouldn't be classified as a political ideology, but a form of psychopathology found in normal "healthy" people. Don't encourage it by worrying about what the bully-swarms think. In fact, humanizing yesterday's fascists is ESSENTIAL to solving the problem, whereas surrendering to collective crusade for purification is precisely how one BECOMES a fascist.

good idea. nazimpathy might be grammable, but the hate symbols mixed with ageism would push it into take-down territory methinks

Are you worried folks would think this is implying nazis should be respected? I thought the woman's expression was clearly shocked/dismayed by the photo, but if you're concerned, maybe that shock could be emphasized by making the text in the previous frame "SHOW SOME RESPEC-" before cutting to her realization. Anyhow, I like it a lot!
