"St. Pauli Girl" is an off-brand produced by Beck's in Bremen, northern Germany. It does not exist in its home country. In addition, St. Pauli is a neighborhood in Hamburg (I lived there for a few years). And it's shit beer. Most German beers are ultra-overrated.
When my (sorry, “me”) wife and I were in Dublin a few years ago, the craft brewing scene was really going. In Temple Bar alone, we visited several old, dark bars (places in which Jon Swift hisself once drank, or so the proprietors claimed) which now sported new brite tanks. And yes, the Guinness was as good as it is anywhere else.
Thanks for the great cartoon! Please keep ‘em coming.
Just loved the ending, great punchline. I like the longer strip too, more is better. And besides, sometimes life just won't allow us to cram everything into just one cartoon panel.
Been to England, like to visit Ireland too. And boy am I ever prepared, my Irish friends are some of the funniest people I know and they have graciously if unknowingly allowed me to steal all their good Irish jokes. I'm reminded of the one about Tiny O'Toole and his brother Enormous Johnson.....
@15, maybe the bartender was old enough to listen to Nirvana when they were still around, and didn't want to be reminded he was young enough to be her son.
Glad to see more of your work on Slog, Callan.
