Just thought I'd post this image of a group of stiff men in suits (except for one) after seeing JB's photo of a group of early American Supreme Court Justices: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/145617-photo-of-grover-cleveland-and-other-judges
Hey, I don't mean no disrespect to my American neighbours (yes, there IS a "u" in "neighbour"...!), but this framed poster I found at a yard sale last summer SO reminded me of that photo! It could be a representation of history's first photo-bomb.
LOL - that's just Uncle "Goofy"
I figured Uncle Goofy needed his own closeup so I've added another photo.
That's so funny!!!
LMAO, kydur, that's a good one.....
It's a medium-sized poster at 19"x27" so I'm hoping to one day stumble across a reasonably-priced big ol' garishly ornate Victorian frame that's just the right size to remount it in, which I think would be a most proper way to accent the humour!
Maybe i have something for you, what size is this poster ??
I am not drunk, sorry i just see your measurement.
The satire here is wonderful!
Do we know whose painting this is? I may have to investigate....
That's a GREAT Pic!!:) Too funny Kydur!!
What a homely looking bunch!
Odd fellows...lol
Father, Third from Left

Thanks for that info walksoftly, that's what the woman said to me at the yard sale when I bought it and I just thought she was joking! Nice to know the artist and origin. Also great to know that the $2 I paid for it (framed) was a good deal.
I wish CW allowed enough photo slots to show close-ups of all the odd fellow faces; each of them have their own strange character and most are quite amusing, in a "straight man" relationship to Father.
Scott, as soon as I saw it I HAD to have it; the cost was secondary, and at $2 irrelevant.
You're welcome Kydur.
You can edit & add two more pics.
The guy sitting on the right & the guy standing over his right shoulder look the same, they must be brothers....lol
This artist is twisted, in a good way though!
Check out some of his other work.

Thanks for the gallery link walksoftly, it was a fun browse. There looks to be some Gary Larson (Far Side) influence in Michael Sowa's work; or maybe it was the other way around and Sowa influenced Larson.
For real Alan?! That would be GREAT.. will be in contact soon!
Some I don't get, perhaps they don't translate well from German.
These two are funny though.

Have added 3 cropped sections of the poster in order to see the individual faces better.
