That Was Fun

A spot-on snapshot of Thanksgiving aftermath, this cartoon perfectly captures the reality that follows the feast. The overstuffed kitchen, endless dishes, and utterly depleted hosts say it all, made even funnier by the wildly optimistic promise: “That was fun. Let’s do it all again in three weeks.”

A must-have for anyone who’s hosted Thanksgiving, survived the cleanup, and somehow agreed to repeat the experience at Christmas or Hanukkah—with a smile.

Original cartoon art by Tom Toro, published in the New Yorker online on December 5, 2019. Archival ink pen and ink wash, with some white-out, on 11" x 14" Bristol vellum paper. Excellent condition.
