Caption:

We use to have “Family Restaurant” in neon, but then a local therapist said we were traumatizing her clients.

Description:

This Nick Galifianakis cartoon was originally published on August 12, 2012 for the feature Carolyn Hax: Tell Me About It in The Washington Post and other syndicated newspapers. The illustration shows a restaurant host explaining to guests that by calling it a “family restaurant” they were putting pressure on people’s ideas of what family means or bringing up bad associations.
