Looks Good on Paper by Dan Collins for March 17, 2020

I always thought that ‘The Luck of the Irish’ was sarcastic, like ‘German whimsy.’

Being Swedish, I’m a bit, um, biased toward panel #2…

Lá Shona Fhéile Pádraig

And mazel tov to you from this nice Jewish boy.

(I used to wear a button on St. Patrick’s Day that read KISS ME, I’M ORALLY FIXATED.)

Just another day for me and unfortunately for many places that won’t have parades nor drinking parties this year due to COVId19.

The expression means “Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!”

Lá fhéile Pádraig means “St. Patrick’s Day." Note that you could also shorten this to “Lá ‘le Pádraig” in this saying and any other. The meaning is the same, but native Irish speakers often use the latter as a way of shortening the term to something more natural and casual.Sona means “happy” in English.

Dhuit means “to you,” when the “you” being referred to is singular.

Pronounce the exclamation as lah leh PAH-drig SUN-uh gwitch.
