I think the first one actually captured the likeness very well. Expression is spot on.

6 did a pretty damn good job, especially since she looks younger than some of the others

Why is Joan’s Dad Crispin Glover decades before he was born?

They all seem so tired. Just beaten by life. I watch a lot of cartoons from around this time and they look like Barney Bear in how tired they look.

There’s a lot of PTSD in the faces of those men.

If 7 would have got his hair right it would be pretty spot on.

It’s interesting how they all draw noses like that. I wonder how old these kids are cuz I’m impressed by their drawing skills

Dad 2 is John Cena. Most of you probably couldn’t see it.

That is *so* cool!Â
The more you look at them, the more sense they make, the more you see the near-inevitability of how the kids represent their fathers.Â
Of course, part of it is rooted in the way that kids learn to abstract their visual reality into drawings, but there’s something subtle but somehow kind of deep going on here that I can’t quite put my finger on.Â

I love these
George. He drew his father as a huge nerd and it was very accurate.

So cool that the first kid designed E.T.

First one just beat out the last one after a second review..great post! Gut laughing over this
Crazy to think that most of the dads in these pictures are 29 years old
Number three is the coolest to me. But my god number one…I can feel that man’s exhaustion through 76 years of time and space.
I’m struck by how half of the fathers look old enough to be modern grandfathers.
If none of those went up on the fridge im gonna have words woth the ghosts of the father’s
8 looks like a young Abe Vigoda
Pic 5, George. Spot on.
