In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #917 from the issue of October 14, 2024, a beaver gnaws at a Greek column and makes a remark to another beaver. My submission is shown below. The classical drawing is by Mads Horwath.

| "Please stop calling it 'iconic.'" |
These captions didn't go down smoothly:

| "Worst. Tree. Ever." "Don't tell ME it isn't petrified." "If you won't pitch in, I'm going to need some dental work." |
