Haunted, On Fire, and a Three-Bedroom Ranch

Comic illustration of a three-bedroom ranch home engulfed in flames, with cartoon ghosts in the windows and a grinning man on the sidewalk holding a red gas can and matches. A thought bubble says: Haunted, on fire, and a 3 bedroom ranch? Yep... that about covers it.

Haunted? Check. On fire? Check. Three bedrooms? Apparently. Somebody might want to amend the listing.

There are some properties that need a little work. A coat of paint. A new furnace. Maybe a priest.

Then there's the three-bedroom ranch where the ghosts are waving through the windows and the roof has apparently decided to become a bonfire.

The real-estate listing probably called it 'full of character' and 'wonderfully warm.' The inspector called it a day and went home.

As for the fellow standing on the sidewalk with a gas can and a box of matches? That's the sort of detail we leave to the cartoonist. This is a dark little joke, not a claim about how any real fire started.

Some houses are fixer-uppers. This one's a fixer-upper, an exorcism, and a call to the fire department.
