The Drinks Are Not Complimentary

The Drinks Are Not Complimentary

by Running With Scissors

A witty black-and-white illustration that captures a cheeky moment of social satire. Five champagne flutes, anthropomorphised with simple, expressive faces, stand on a waiter's tray and exchange barbed one-liners - "You smell like cabbage!", "That top doesn't suit you" and "Your hair looks stupid" - above a small tent card that reads "PLEASE NOTE THE DRINKS ARE NOT COMPLIMENTARY." The drawing's restrained palette and hand-drawn linework give the scene a refined, editorial feel while the humour remains delightfully biting.

Ideal for anyone with a dry sense of humour, this design works for many light-hearted occasions and social celebrations. It balances sophistication and irreverence, making it suited to recipients who appreciate clever, tongue-in-cheek commentary rather than sentimental messages. The playful contrast between the elegant glassware and rude remarks makes this image memorable and distinctive.
