These pictures should give you a pretty good idea of what AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com would've looked like 100 years ago. It starts out cute, but turns ugly and creepy fast…

I could have gone my whole life without seeing #11.

Annnd I’m pretty sure the guy in #21 had unpleasant things buried in his crawlspace. Possibly including the the other people in the photo at some later date.

Suddenly, I don’t feel so bad about my only family photo albums. :-)

I see weird, but in a familial way ("Oh that's just Ralph" ... or ... "Ain't that just like them Clrms?)"

The rest are halloween and promo's (The kid with the sausage)

(BTW .. you should have seen the first HoHoHo Jolly Green Giant)

When I look at pics from the past, I take a lot in .. the technological advances we enjoy today are astounding.

If you want to be a ventriloquist today, all you have to do is practice ... the professional dummies are for sale ....... but not back then.

"That lady seems to have gotten around."

Sounds fishy.

They seem to be overly fond of puppets.
I find that odd...and somewhat troubling.
