This week our intrepid critics take a look at Cocktails.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cocktails have made a comeback, not that they ever went away. They moved from the bar to the suburban home and back to the bar in the span of a couple of generations. The mixed drink, long part of our social culture, has spawned many cartoons. It\u2019s five o-clock somewhere, so let\u2019s begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The enigmatic stone heads of Easter Island are the frequent subject of cartoons. They lose some of their mysterious allure when topped with straws, citrus slices, and cocktail umbrellas, as seen in this Chris Weyant cartoon. Their visages are stern, even during happy hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC140115_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC140115_Sharing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC140115_Sharing-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC140115_Sharing-768x591.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC140115\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The paper cocktail umbrella, purportedly created by a bartender in Hawaii for tropical drinks, adds a fanciful element to alcoholic beverages. Drew Dernavich reverse engineers the paper version to create a miniature black umbrella that is equally useless and far less fanciful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC143587_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC143587_Sharing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC143587_Sharing-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC143587_Sharing-768x623.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC143587\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A surfeit of cocktail umbrellas may be an indication of excessive imbibing, something that even the baby bird in Robert Leighton\u2019s cartoon recognizes.

It was during that time that Jack Ziegler drew this cartoon, playing on the idea of how we see ourselves and how others see us. Interestingly, all of the other bar chairs are empty, perhaps because the cartoonist felt that the existence of additional patrons would distract from the gag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC119155_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC119155_Sharing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC119155_Sharing-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC119155_Sharing-768x670.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC119155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leo Cullum loved drawing cartoons set in bars. This is one of our favorites. The expressionless faces contrast with the absurdity of the humor. The question mark in the caption, as if there is any doubt who ordered the drink, is the mark of a master.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC35620_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC35620_Sharing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC35620_Sharing-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC35620_Sharing-768x662.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC35620\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further along the absurdity scale is the work of P.C. Vey. Here, a character offers a word of caution while mixing drinks whilst waist-deep in quicksand. Though sinking in quicksand has long been a cartoon setup, few cartoonists have the imaginative powers to associate it with cocktail hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA500101_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA500101_Sharing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA500101_Sharing-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA500101_Sharing-768x747.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BA500101_Sharing-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=BA500101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salted-rimmed cocktails occupy a particular place on the drink menu. Whether drinkers actually enjoy the salt is a matter of speculation, but cartoonist Liana Finck leaves no doubt that this customer wants to consume every grain. An artistic note: the vertical and horizontal dots are a unique way to demarcate wall and floor space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC146259_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC146259_Sharing.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC146259_Sharing-245x300.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC146259\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seth Fleishman, known primarily for his intriguing cartoons without captions, takes a stab at the cocktail olive.

Its origin story is murky, but it may have been first concocted in San Francisco in the 1860s. It has remained a pre-meal mainstay ever since. Its potency is well known, so it\u2019s no surprise that refills would lead to the scene depicted by Mick Stevens. Only the bartender remains upright. A nice detail: the fingers gripping the bar\u2019s edge on the left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8693\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC124515_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC124515_Sharing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC124515_Sharing-300x260.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC124515_Sharing-768x665.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC124515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gourmand knows how to pair wines with food, but the serious drinker knows how to pair straight alcohol with challenging social circumstances, as seen in this cartoon by Michael Shaw. The cartoonist relies on a simple, wandering line, but still effectively conveys the scene. For example, the mother\u2019s white hair is depicted with no hairline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC136843_Sharing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC136843_Sharing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC136843_Sharing-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CC136843_Sharing-768x680.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"smfont\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC136843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mike Twohy considers novelty drinks and the people who order them in this cartoon, apparently set in a fern bar, itself a novelty whose time has passed.

The Shirley Temple, a non-alcoholic mixed drink named after the child star, was a cocktail hour favorite of kids. The message conveyed to children may be questioned today, but the mom here knows that an adult variation on the drink will transform the mocktail into a cocktail.
