Shamrock

Name: Molly Fitzgerald
A.k.a: Shamrock
 Dunshaughlin,Ireland
Power: "Luck of the Irish"

Thirty years ago, Shamrock first appeared in Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions # 1 comic (June 1982).

Her powers were obtained from the "souls of a thousand war victims who manifest themselves as poltergiests, which affect probability within a 20-foot radius of her, altering situations so that she is given an advantage." ," which helped her get the winning advantage.

Marvel decided to create a superhero that would represent Ireland, similar to Captain America representing the United States. So, Marvel created a 5'10" red-headed beauty who obtained powers from the dead.

First of all, I have a thing for red-headed superheroines like Black Widow, Jean Grey, and Leeloo. So it shouldn't be a surprise that Shamrock caught my attention.

Now, you probably haven't heard of Shamrock. I don't blame you. The character came with a lot of controvesy. People thought the character was too stereotypical, and eventually the character was retired--she retired after breaking her foot and decided to became a hairdresser.

I decided to sketch what I would think Shamrock should look like. I dressed her in black rather than the green spandex in the earlier comics. I kept the shamrock and opted for her hair to be loose rather than restrained inside head mask. Finally, I gave her a magical shillelagh as a weapon to
use to help summon the innocent souls to help her get the advantage.

HK doodle: Evil King

Doodle by HK

There once lived a evil king named Ned

Who wore a red robe with white tassels

And a ruby crown on his head

But no one could figure his hassle.

His pinstripped suit may have been too tight

It could have been his chattering teeth

Or maybe it was the baby crying late last night

But no one could figure his beef.

Perhaps it was the red bean soup

That he had the night before

When he made a bloop

And got a bean stuck in his sore nose.



HK's doodles



Here is the first of hopefully many postings from my friend's doodle pad. 

From personal observations, HK is a great cartoonist and sketch artist. His doodles are creative and hilarious.

A Native American doodle

A few days ago, I was cleaning out an old box that had random papers and notes I had been collecting for years.  Yes, I admit, I am a pack rat.  Not a hoarder.  Just a pack rat. 

Anyways, I found an old spiral bound notebook that had a few notes and doodles of when I was an intern in DC.
