This photo is disturbing in many ways.

If that disturbs you, do yourself a favor and don't search for any more Larry Clark photos.

Beside the obvious... where are all the fat people we see in crowds these days?

They didn't invent fat people until the 80's. Seriously. I said the same thing when my mom was doing a history thing for her church, and I went over to her house and looked at all the pictures of the congregation from the 50's and 60's. I couldn't find any fat people. The modern directory, you can hardly find a non-obese person. Same town.

But there is a big dude with a cigar in Hobbes' pic

The Secret Service must have been stuck in Virgina that day... West VA is a whole nuther planet.

And yes... fat people were not invented till the 80's. The only heavy people I knew when I was a kid were pretty much elderly folks..

I have read that not to many years ago... basic housework (in town) was about the same as a 2 mile walk...maybe that's how people lived so long smoking and eating a "bad" diet compared to now days?
