The Post described, “The original idea here was to show a new boy friend undergoing a merciless inspection by the girl’s family. John Falter wound up doing an even more harrowing variation of the theme. The girl, the mother and the clerical brother are only too attentive to the swain, but most of the household resoundingly ignores him. Falter used as a setting the home of Sid Castles, in Geneva, Illinois. However, as artists will, he added wrinkles of his own, such as the picture in the center —an old chrome called The Tie That Binds. Falter says he saw this picture everywhere as a boy in Nebraska. As an adult, though, he has never been able to find anyone who ever heard of it.”
