Happy #StPatricksDay! An Irish folktale about the púca tells of how it, in the form of a horse, once abducted a young and inexperienced piper and took him to a great feast in the house of the Banshee, where the lad and his pipes became the party's entertainment. #FolkloreSunday

THE BRO SHOW
S14 E14 – The Penniless Pooka Episode

Is having a face that can stop a clock really so bad? You can’t spell it, you can barely pronounce it, so why do we rely upon it for so many transactions? Jon relies on pennies for luck, so can he cope without pennies? You will not become penniless as a result of listening to 24 enriching minutes of The Bro Show. #BroShow #Rabbits #Harvey #PennyDebate #Pooka #JimmyStewart #Groaners

`The spectral figure of the #pooka could also appear in the form of a goat, who lived in the woods and had a tremendous capacity for leaping over fences and other obstacles. One tale describes how a pooka, in the form of a goat, leaped onto a man’s shoulders. When he went home, he took to his bed and was unable to move for three weeks with intense pain, although there was no visible mark from the attack.`

James Stewart is Elwood P. Dowd. An ordinary man with an extraordinary claim: his best friend is an invisible, six feet three and a half inches-tall #pooka – a mythological Celtic, shapeshifting creature – who in Mr Dowd's case resembles a rabbit called #Harvey. Elwood's sister and niece, who also occasionally see the furry goblin, have their relative send to a sanatorium where the doctors and us viewers learn more about this curious case.

Harvey (1950), based on Mary Chase's #PulitzerPrize Play with the same name, is guaranteed to bring a smile on your face, this humbug's scout's honour! Have a nice #Easter, CineMastodons!

I started my usual NYE illustration, but didn't quite finish it last night. I like how it came out--it might be the only non-comic illo I did in 2018, though.
