Variations On A Thanksgiving Theme











In 1943 Norman Rockwell produced a series of four paintings on the Four Freedoms, a concept that Franklin Delano Roosevelt had introduced in one of his speeches. One of these painting, Freedom From Want, has come to exemplify the old American traditional Thanksgiving, and is most often referred to as the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving. Over the years there have been many spoofs and variations on this image; I present here several of them.

Perhaps THIS is the ultimate Thanksgiving icon! Hilarious variations, love the white trash one in particular!
