Carolyn,
I like this composition. The beer looks very drinkable. My only comments would be that the skin tone looks very warm, even hot in some places. This could be the result of monitor translation, if not, this could be contributing to your sense of cartooning. And the hand, where the thumb meets the glass stem seems to be the highest contrast in the piece. If it were me I would lower that contrast by darkening the skin and softening that edge somewhat. Also, I might soften the top edge of the hand just a bit.
The ear looks OK to me, less is more there I think.
This looks like a very successful painting to me.
