My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #793

This week, I found that working on The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #793 from the issue of March 7, 2022 was a lot like swimming upstream. My entry is shown below. The drawing is by Brian Hawes and Seth Roberts.

"You don't think I'm going to spoil the cat?"

These captions didn't check out:

"Don't bother to wrap it. I'll eat it here."
"Just toss it at my mouth."
"Tell me, where did you find it?"

Lunch at the Brazen Head

Founded in 1198, the Brazen Head is Ireland's oldest pub, and it's where I had my first meal after arriving in the country. I also had my first beer of the trip there, perhaps not the brightest idea after a sleepless night of transatlantic travel.

A pint of Kilkenny, a remarkably smooth brew

Wherever I go, something reminds me of home.

Note:  That Kilkenny's was not my final beer of the day. Check tomorrow's post to see what I drank next. I bet you can guess already.
