A cartoon family of tourists stands on a city street. An excited woman with orange hair, in a pink shirt and green skirt, throws her arms out and exclaims, "OH WOW HONEY! KIDS, LOOK! HONEY, TAKE A PICTURE! WOW! NEW YORK CITY! WOW!" Two young children stand beside her. A man in a blue baseball cap and blue shirt holds up a camera, snapping photos ('click! click!'). The caption below reads: "The Sandersons had never seen a homeless man before." The joke: the family is so out of touch that they mistake an ordinary homeless man for a remarkable New York City sight worth photographing. Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten note reads, "To readers of the future: The device in his hands is a tiny washing machine" — joking that future readers won't recognize an old film camera and need it labeled.
