Getting Matched-Up with a Brewery in Dublin!

I suppose it must say something about my lifestyle that the last time I tried a dating agency it matched me up with a brewery in Dublin!

That's my gag and this is how I turned it into a cartoon.

Woman at a dating agency tells a client that the system has matched him up with a brewery.

The Dating Agency has been a common theme for me with cartoons I've drawn over the years. I am of course aware that such "bricks and mortar" type Dating Agencies are something of the past now that online dating platforms have taken over so much. 
It's probably put paid to any future for these cartoons, but I've always liked the fun scenario possibilities that this setting throws up, and I hope they will make people smile for a good few years yet.

Speed Dating. Maybe not Suitable for Everyone...

This cartoon captures a delightfully humorous scene at the “Twilight Retirement Home,” where the residents are gearing up for a “Speed Dating” event later that evening. 

Speed Dating cartoon set in an old people's home.

The common area is filled with elderly residents, some with canes or walkers, as they prepare for the night ahead. A sign clearly announces: “TONIGHT! SPEED DATING.”

The humour is in the gentle irony of the situation – the idea of “speed dating” in a setting where the participants are anything but speedy. It’s a playful exaggeration that highlights both the determination and the charm of the residents, showing that finding companionship and fun doesn’t have an age limit.

Like many of my cartoons, this one mixes everyday life with a twist of absurdity. It’s relatable, lighthearted, and a reminder that humour can be found in the most unexpected places – even in retirement homes where the pace of life is slower, but the personalities are full of spirit.


You might also enjoy some of my other cartoons that explore relationships, humour in later life, and everyday absurdities, including “And Now for an Item of Late News”, “God’s Gift to Women”, and “On the Face of It - Beauty Salon”.
