    If he’s Irish, how come he ain’t wearing any green?
    (Just kidding.)

  3. THX 1138 Says:

    Is that object in the background what the hero makes his coffee in?

  4. SI Says:

    Don’t people realise this is an accurate illustration of how all Irish people are. I wake up every morning and make this pose.

    I will avenge you father! Avenge you!!!!

    ‘My odyssey has come to an end! And now, verily, I must exit through the gift shop. So, what is it to be? This replica sword? Or the large piece of avant-garde pottery behind me? Decisions, decisions.’

    But can he dance?

  7. mfabry Says:

    Dalton, seeing his unsteady stance and problems with vision and distance judgment I would say he’s no Michael Flatley! Just a dude who had done too much pub crawling the previous night ..

  8. Tom Noir Says:

    Why does he have a coffee pot growing out of his arm? Is than Irish thing?

  9. Tom Noir Says:

  10. NGpm Says:

    Maybe this is an Irish version of Don Quixote?

    The myopic hero attacks trees and percolators thinking they are dragons … “how dare you insult the good name of Dulcinea del County Clare!”

    And no one has caught that the author is Michael Scott.. … … From the Office?

  14. GK Says:

    I don’t know where his mullet ends and his cloak begins.

  15. jesika Says:

    this is not the kind of book i would have expected Michael Scott to have written.

  16. A.R.Yngve Says:

    The great irony is that the book is probably marketed towards Americans who imagine they are “Irish” but have only a very vague idea what that means and don’t have a poetic bone in their bodies…

  17. Tom Noir Says:

    “The stirring voyage of Maudlin…”

    Here he is depicted discovering the Holy Salt-shaker.

  18. Jaouad Says:

    Salt-shaker? Looks more like a hookah to me.

  20. AnnaT Says:

    Maildun practiced his heroic pose, unaware of the giant coffeepot approaching him from behind . . .

  21. Severian 67 Says:

    That’s not Maildun! That’s Chuck Norris! And you crazy fools are mocking him. I can’t bear to watch. [runs away]

  22. anon Says:

    I thought Ulysses was the Celtic Odyssey…

  23. GSS ex-noob Says:

    Faith and begorra, ’tis missing the TING tag.

  24. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Little known fact: the Irish invented the beer stein, and kept all of the stout in the land in one enormous tankard until the reign of Elizabeth.

    Maith thú, Éireannach!
