Zoyd: makes no bad figure, he could look much worse.
RC: anything to object to his way growing his children?
Ralph Wayvone surely looks like a good father in public, but we know that
he's the Mafia-godfather.

"Family" can have different meanings. Normally it's a positively loaded
image, but bringing the Mafia-family or the Manson-family into context
changes this.
