The atomic family has a BBQ. Just the thing Liberal Democrats want to stop with Drag Queen Story Hour.

You could photoshop in the start of a mushroom cloud in the background. I'm sure many on this site grew up with that mushroom cloud always in the back of their mind.

I was raised under the constant worry of the mushroom cloud... Still remember sitting at the top of the stairs as a kid, eavesdropping on my parents as the discussed the current likelihood everything was gonna go up in a cloud of fire. And then one day we awesome, sometime in the early nineties, and guess what, no more threat.

Yes, me too, especially when I realized my parents were worried. We lived near a Strategic Air Command base and it was an obvious target. I read all the novels about it and began to secretly wish that it would happen. I was a strange kid.

Yea, I'm sure I probably had similar thoughts. Maybe not "wished" it would happen but perhaps developed a sort of "morbid curiosity" about it. It would be hard not to, given the absolutely massive Armageddon, apocalyptical power associated with the imagery. I think it was about that time that I read the Stephen King novel, The Stand, which while not directly about nuclear war, is a close approximation of the results. I remember associating that story with what it would be like to experience nuclear war....
