Something amusing is happening in Tel Aviv’s main street: an inflatable giant-size duck was placed upon the roof of city-hall, with its foot dangling right outside the window of Tel Aviv’s mayor.
The duck was inflated to the cheers of hundreds of on-lookers yesterday at twilight. This was done to commemorate Dudu Geva, a comic-book artist and humorist who passed away suddenly three years ago (I had the privilege of working with him). His son, daughter, friends and disciples worked effortlessly for three years to persuade the humorless mayor of Tel Aviv to agree that it’s a splendid idea to have a duck on top of city hall - in reference to an idea Geva drew once where he called to “duckify” Tel Aviv (in hopes of bringing comic-book colors to a gray city). It took three years, but ultimately they prevailed. On the eve of Tel Aviv centennial, the duck will sit for 3 months on top of city hall, bringing smiles to those who pass by.
Geva, in fact, had a duck-fetish. He once wrote “The Duck Book”, a compendium of all his comic-strips that starred ducks. In one of the pages he introduced his signature duck to Donald Duck. He was promptly sued by The Walt Disney Corporation for copyright infringement and lost.

This is the view down Ibn-Gvirol Street (few feet away from my house), in a rare, and blessed, case of urban humor gone mad:
