My Monster Family car stickers

In the Neatorama store, a set of "My Monster Family Car Stickers" designed by Mike Jacobsen. These are a great antidote to the ubiquitous sickly-sweet minivan stickers.

My Monster Family - Family Car Stickers

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I saw another version of this on a car that had the zombie family as stick figures, can’t find it by searching, perhaps they were home-made?
This post got me to poking around to see what else is out there and there are LOTS of options! My favorite was the AT-AT set on this Etsy seller’s page (no connection):

Antidote? It’s one and the same, but with a candy-coating on the ipecac.

  I would just assume it was a Nickelodeon cartoon I never heard of.
  
  Edit: If I were at Nick developing this, I’d say that “mummy” & “mommy” (or “mummy” for half the English speaking world) was OK as a pun, but it might prevent the audience from relating to the character if her face was so covered. (Unless you were pitching it to Nick UAE, that’s another story.)

  Amen. I think the proper antidote would be a family with two daddies. Probably would start some fun conversations in the Whole Foods parking lot.

    Actually, I’ve seen a couple with two mommies on them; haven’t seen two daddies yet but I have hope. And I think it was in front of our locally-owned natural-food co-op, come to think of it. It’s the only place I shop these days.

I don’t understand why anyone would want to broadcast any details about their family, even if it’s just that they have 4 kids and a cat. I guess they don’t have any privacy concerns. I’m still astounded at a minivan I passed the other day with baseball stickers with their kids’ names on them.

Do you take a sticker off after a divorce? Or a death in the family? Or just “x” them out?

  I saw one the other day where the pets had angel wings. I suppose that’s what you do. Either that or you put a big ass “in memory of” sticker on your car.

I kind of want to put one of those ‘Calvin peeing’ stickers on someone’s car, so the family is getting a golden shower.

The family stickers somewhat irk me. About as much as ‘my child has good character’ or [insert political slogan here]. It betrays a sense of inflated self-importance. Nobody cares!

My previous comment was deleted, apparently. I’ll try again:

Why the hatred for these family stickers? I don’t hear people complaining about sports team stickers or rainbow flag stickers.
