Dear Awkward Family,

We are proud to announce that the follow-up to the NYTimes Bestselling Awkward Family Photos will be a book based on our sister site, AwkwardFamilyPetPhotos.com, to be published in 2011 by Random House. We couldn’t have made the AFP book without you and once again, we ask you to share your awkwardness and help make this the ultimate celebration of the wonderfully peculiar relationship between people and their pets.

If you have an awkward family pet photo you’d like to share with us for the new book, you can submit it here.

Thanks!

They just never saw hair to hair.

So in the future the bullies will pop the packing bubbles I am wearing as clothes, with their feet? Great, can’t wait for that.

Mad Hater is more what I was going for…

Help Bill recapture the awkwardness of his youth:

“My parents cursed me with this hat (and wardrobe, and throwing skills). It stayed with me through a good part of my awkward years, but I’m happy to report I did end up with a wife and kids so the damage wasn’t permanent. I feel it is my duty to submit this photo, and confess that I have grown nostalgic for the hat. I’ve looked over the years, and Cosmic Caps apparently is long out of business, and ebay is a bust (why anyone would keep one I have no idea). My goal is to find one and send it to my dad who bought the cap for me such that he “could find me in a crowd.”  Then maybe I could pass one on to my poor son. Anyway – if you have any idea where I can find one, please let me know.”

When the people speak, AFP listens. Never before have we been the sent the same photo by so many. So with that, we dedicate this SNS to “The Situation” and by that of course, we mean three turtlenecks ready to burst at the seams.

Roman columns can’t stop these brothers from revealing their fun sides.

Birds do it, bees do it, bet you didn’t know that these do it.
