Anyway, one of my favorite bits in the long and most excellent run of Preacher was the two-part origin of Cassidy in issues 25-26, drawn by Steve Dillon and published way back in 1997. I especially love Cass's real name was Proinsias, a Gaelic name so bizarre to American ears that Ennis started off his letter column on this story by answering the most common question this way: "PRAWN-SHAS. OKAY?"
For those who missed it, here's the last page from issue 25, in which Jesse gives his ol' Irish pal a classic hard time. (Click for an easier read.)
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Slainte.
