Transcript

Main comic (single panel):

A crowd of people sits in rows in a darkened theater, watching a stage. One man near the back, leaning toward another, speaks.

Man in the audience: "He's whining because he was a steady job, a house, kids, no debt, but doesn't also have a farm too? Jesus ever-loving Christ, he DESERVES to die!"

Caption below the panel: "The smaller the middle class gets, the weirder Death of a Salesman will seem."

Votey:

A close-up of a stern man's face. A speech bubble above him reads, in shaky handwriting:
"FUCKIN MILLENNIALS."

A single-panel comic shows an audience of people seated in rows in a dim theater, watching a stage. One man in the crowd leans over and comments to a neighbor: "He's whining because he was a steady job, a house, kids, no debt, but doesn't also have a farm too? Jesus ever-loving Christ, he DESERVES to die!" A caption beneath reads: "The smaller the middle class gets, the weirder Death of a Salesman will seem." The joke: as a steady job and home ownership become rare luxuries, future audiences will find Willy Loman's despair in the play baffling and unsympathetic. The votey (bonus panel) is a close-up of a grim, frowning man's face with a hand-lettered speech bubble reading "FUCKIN MILLENNIALS."
