    Always get the best cards from my sister. Today’s:“May the road rise up to meet you…But NOT suddenly and painfully in the face!”Wishing a Safe & Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all on this board (from someone actually of Irish descent).

    As for Specs & Spicy, that seems like an odd way to sober someone up!

    Oh, I forgot: Happy St. Patrick’s Day for all. I do have some ancestors who lived in Ireland for a generation or two, but I understand that they were sent there from England.

    Me too, that little bit of extra expression is always neat. I guess you could say that Spec’s specs are SPECial.

    I’m beginning to wonder if Spicy’s “Turtleneck Collar” was actually a choker all along.

    I have not a bit of Irish blood in me (unless you go back to the 7th century, when we may have picked up some imported Irish genes, explaining the tendency to reddish hair in my father’s line), but on the other hand a large number of my cousins are half-Irish and carry an Irish patronymic. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

    While coffee has traditionally been associated (rightly or wrongly) with sobering up someone who is, in Spicy’s term, plastered, the dunking of the drunk’s hands into a bucket of hot coffee is rather unorthodox. Indeed, I’ve never seen or heard of it before now.Today’s strip plays almost like a bit of comic relief, except that for Spicy and Specs the stakes are real and high.

    What ! the Queen’s budget wasn’t big enough to send them to Oz ?

    Well, the story I was told was something about one ancestor being the Chancellor of the Exchequer (equivalent to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury) who was awarded the farm in Ireland as a reward. Later on, it was owned by two brothers, one of whom came to Canada. When the remaining one died, the one in Canada would have had to move back to Ireland or give up the property. He stayed in Canada. Or at least that’s the story I heard.
