My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #976

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #976 from the issue of January 26, 2026, two waiters sit holding covered serving trays and two others walk by with trays holding champagne and beer. The sitting waiter with the bow tie makes a wisecrack. The drawing is by E. S. Glenn.




A similar image, reversed and with some basketball gear on two of the trays, was put forth by Glenn in late 2020 for the Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #107. Here are the three winning entries from that iteration of this cartoon:

My entry in the current contest is shown below:

"Whatever it is, I hear it's best served cold."



This caption went down a little too easily:

"Who the hell decided drinks go first?"
