This cartoon by Jeff Koterba from the Omaha World-Herald is a comment on the current craze for selfies. The scene is a Santa's Grotto where children can have their photograph taken with Father Christmas. However, rather than having an 'official' photo taken with a proper camera, the children are all taking photographs of themselves with their smartphones, leading the photographer to comment, "Seriously, how am I supposed to make any money when all the kids are taking Santa selfies?"
VOCABULARY
