An Iowa Town Debates the Fate of Grant Wood's Gothic Backdrop

"Never argue with a man carrying a pitchfork, especially if he's Farmbo. Rodney Bohner of Story City, Iowa created the new symbol for struggling farmers by combining the face of Grant Wood's "American Gothic" farmer with the body of the film character Rambo." 

Another 'not-a-parody' but an article and photo my grandmother had in her collection. Nan Wood Graham was Grant Wood's sister - the model for the American Gothic woman.

Not a parody but it still made the collection.

Carla Cugino in probably one of her most regrettable roles in Son In Law is out with a new one in The Watchmen now. We're still awaiting the release of Our Lady of Victory  , the story of the Immaculata College Mighty Macs womens basketball team and their coach, Cathy Rush  .

Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold  opened a diner in 1993 in Eldon, Iowa  , the town where the original American Gothic home stands.
