You can celebrate ST. PATRICK'S DAY even if you're not Irish!
And of course there are many ways to remember St. Patrick's holiday which must include watching some great classic Irish-themed cartoons!
These two are my perennial favorites!
1951 - WEARING OF THE GRIN. Written by Michael Maltese and directed by Chuck Jones. The expressions on Porky's face make this, one of the funniest entries in the Merrie Melodies library!

1958 - DROOPY LEPRECHAUN - MGM-Hanna-Barbera Productions. Directed by Michael Lah. Droopy's last theatrical cartoon is memorable for Spike, the Irish dog who's obsessed with catching a leprechaun!
Opening scenes from DROOPY LEPRECHAUN:
Anyway, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

THE GREAT MOVIE CARTOON PARADE!
This is an excellent (and long out of print) book about cartoons and cartoon characters, written by John Halas and David Rider. It was first published in 1976 by Triune Books in the UK and Bounty Books in the USA and I don't think there were any further editions. The text is quite informative and the BIG sized pages (14.75" x 10.25") are beautifully illustrated with some truly nice pictures of many cartoon characters, some of which are really obscure but nevertheless worthy of a glance. From Mickey Mouse to the Pink Panther, it covers many studios and eras and the sheer size of the images alone make it an attractive addition to any cartoon collector's library.
The book's price back in 1976 was $9.95!
Due to its large size, the only real problem for me was finding a good fitting place for it in my bookshelf!
