Leprechauns Gone Wild

by Jimmy Johnson


Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In case you’re wondering, there really is such a thing as a “clurichaun.” I mean, there’s such a thing as a mythical Irish fairy called a “clurichaun.” I tell you: the things you have to know to be a cartoonist! Mostly, you have to know how to get to the Google search page. If it seems I’m chronically nostalgic for all things pre-digital, let me tell you how cartoonists used to do things. They actually kept catalogs and files of clippings at hand, just so they’d know how to draw, say, a lawn mower. Now? Pffft! Google “lawn mower” and instantly see images of just about every type of lawn mower ever invented or imagined. Also back then, every good cartoonist’s shelves groaned with dictionaries and thesauruses and encyclopedias! Now, it’s dust and old Beanie Babies.

    Remember seeing total eclipse in Venezuela?
    I will dodge out memory.

    Ruth Ann, if I hear about anything going on in Blairsville I’ll let you know. Since Dahlonega is just outside the full eclipse path we are going up to Hiawassee to a friends’ cabin to watch.

    June 1955 eclipse must have been. Longest in 20th century?

    I remember they made us look through some kind of boxes? I would have been eleven. Maybe I should see another one.
