Opposing civil defence and preparedness is such an odd thing. Especially if you're worried about nuclear weapons and the possibilty of war, I'd expect people to push for shelters in every new building, massive government stockpiles of food and such things. Instead, they are going like "Hey, there's this huge threat that might kill most of us. Let's make ourselves even more vulnerable to show we don't like this!"
The first thing I noticed in that family fallout shelter is the lack of a toilet. :-( It doesn't look like two weeks' worth of food and water either. Alex's other comments are all worth noting too. Does this family expect to go grocery shopping when they emerge from the shelter?
At some point I will write about the toilet situation. It's quite interesting and amusing, and it really centers attention on the realities of the "fallout experience" in a way that these kinds of drawings do not.

That chimney venting to the outer atmosphere seems a little sketchy as well,...
