I’m dedicating this comic to Shelagh Lustig, who married me 37 years ago on St. Patrick’s Day—even though I didn’t have a pot o’ gold. I, on the other hand, struck the motherlode when I married her. Ever since then St. Patrick’s Day has been my lucky day! Happy Anniversary, sweetie!
(My thanks to Mike Pascale for collaborating with me on another fun holiday gag.)
