↓ Transcript
PANEL ONE: Owen and Pooka catch up to Fetch talking to Fiona and Knob.
FETCH: No, listen. Finvarra raised an army of undead soldiers. They’re heading here to protect Scotty Monroe’s condos from anarchists. That means you!
FIONA: Us? More like you it was!
KNOB: Oh, boy.
PANEL 2: Owen interjects. Fetch grimaces and Knob beams with pride. Pooka is confused. Fiona is annoyed.
OWEN: Wait. Fetch. You started all this?
KNOB: Well, he didn’t do it alone. We plugged the toilets with newspaper and the pipes exploded. It was glorious!
POOKA: Sorry. What’s happening?
FIONA: Who the hell are you?
PANEL 3: Owen is angry. Knob is indignant. Pooka bows gallantly and extends his hand to Fiona, who raises an eyebrow while drinking her beer. Fetch starts to look frustrated.
OWEN: So it was sabotage! And you did it, Fetch!
KNOB: Hey, I helped!
POOKA: Greetings, my dear. I am the one and only Pooka.
FIONA: Should I be impressed?
PANEL 4: Owen is worried. Knob sips his beer. Pooka now looks indignant. Fiona rolls her eyes. Fetch looks even more frustrated.
OWEN: This is more danger than I bargained for.
KNOB: Oh, yeah. He’s got a point, Fetch.
POOKA: I should hope so. After all, I am an important figure in Celtic folklore.
FIONA: Woooo. And I’m the bloody queen of England.
FETCH: No, listen. Finvarra raised an army of undead soldiers. They’re heading here to protect Scotty Monroe’s condos from anarchists. That means you!
FIONA: Us? More like you it was!

Spread the joy:
This is champion stuff. What are some of your favorite sources for Celtic folklore?
Thanks! I read a lot of WB Yeats, Lady Gregory, and Crockett. But I use encyclopedias, Wikipedia and various blogs I come across while googling. And I’m a big fan of “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell” and Terry Pratchett.
