My Entries in the Moment Cartoon Caption Contest for Winter 2022

Moment magazine's Cartoon Caption Contest for the Winter 2022 issue recalls many a vivid nightmare. My several captions are shown below. The drawing is by Benjamin Schwartz.

Moment's contest entries often reflect a specifically Jewish sense of humor, so some explanation of my terms may be in order here. A kippah is the Hebrew word for a head covering, or yarmulke in Yiddish. Tu BiShvat is the Jewish Arbor Day. Dreidel is a game of chance played during Chanukah with a four-sided top, but you already know that. Netflix you know too.

"This is so embarrassing. I forgot my kippah."

"And these are my good-luck briefs."

"Well, how do YOU celebrate Tu BiShvat?"

"Tell Benjamin Schwartz this isn't as funny as it looks."

"Worst of all, I was treed by a rabbit."

"My wife got everything in the divorce."

“That’s the last time I play strip dreidel.”
“Just keep yelling until I wake up.”
"Take a hint from Netflix and don't look up."
