Which Came First, The Cartoon Or The Caption?

The Cartoon Tastes Like Chicken
This came about after hearing cartoonist Drew Dernavich (website) speak. He does the scratchboard New Yorker cartoons signed “Dd” and is super nice and funny.

Their database automagically filters out entries containing “tastes like chicken.” My non-existent database does not.

Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
