My Entries in the Moment Cartoon Caption Contest for November/December 2022

Chanukah must be upon us, judging from Moment magazine's Cartoon Caption Contest for the November/December 2022 issue. My several captions are shown below. Note that for captioning purposes I use the more common spelling Hanukkah. The drawing of a dreidel run amuck is by Benjamin Schwartz.

"I made it out of autonomous rotors, inertial sensors, gyroscopic stabilizers, and clay."
"Didn't I say no gifts?"
"From now on, I say we go topless."
"Run for cover—it's a drone dreidel!"
"What if it keeps this up for eight days?"
"And, after all this, if it lands on shin we still have to pay."
"The gimel means gimme shelter."
"I think we may have overdone Hanukkah."
"It's the Festival of Frights!"
"Tell me this isn't scarier than the Grinch."
"I should never have asked for a Transformer for Hanukkah."

My Entries in the Moment Cartoon Caption Contest for November/December 2021

This year Chanukah began on the Sunday night of Thanksgiving weekend, apparently inspiring Moment magazine's Cartoon Caption Contest for the November/December issue. My captions are below. The drawing is by Benjamin Schwartz.

"A great miracle happened back there."
"Wait, you're Amish?"
"Next time you light them, leave your hat on."
"A foil-wrapped chocolate coin for your thoughts?"
"Could we extend the reprieve through Chanukah every year?"
