We discuss the dynamics as well as the structure of the parameter plane of certain families of rational maps with few critical orbits. Our paradigm is the family R t ( z ) = (1 + (4/27) z 3 /(1 − z)), with dynamics governed by the behaviour of the postcritical orbit ( R n ()) n ∈ℕ . In particular, it is shown that if escapes (that is, R n () tends to infinity), then the Julia set of R is a Cantor set, or a Sierpiński curve, or a curve with one or else infinitely many cut‐points; each of these cases actually occurs.
