A Cartoon

By Mr. Fish

Cartoon: ISRAELI REAL ESTATE AGENT. A real-estate agent is standing in a doorway, next to a middle-aged couple. In the room a woman in a head scarf and a man watch tv, andon the floor a boy reads a book. The real estate agent says. “Now you just have to imagine the room with a different color scheme, hardwood floors, and all these people living in the street and the 6-year-old shot through the head and the the rest of the family acting crazy as if things could have been handled differently.”
