I was going through the photos and I noticed the color difference. Apparently it is still a problem, as there is less "paint" than there was a year ago.

The Molly Malone Statue in Dublin, Ireland.
An actual historical-ish cartoon this week. I've become an avid listener to the Irish History Podcast by Fin Dwyer. A recent cracking episode, The Mystery Nazi Flight to Ireland - Who was really on board?, had the following quote which to me is an absolute corker that should be taught in schools (maybe it is now, 'tis a long time since I failed Leaving Cert History!)
Soviet news agency TASS would also make claims that Hitler was in Ireland when it claimed he had been spotted in Dublin dressed as a woman in 1945.
I mean come on. Immediately the two neurons responsible for my cartoon ideas banged off each other like the pair of testicles Hitler didn't have and I thought of a female-disguised Hitler trying to fit in among the Moore St. traders. Eagle-eyed readers might also recognise Maureen O'Hitler's cart, while simultaneously being disappointed there's no shiny décolletage on display. I'm sorry, there are some things I just won't draw. Stay tuned for more cartoons by signing up for my emails!

A large toby jug made by Kingston Pottery of Hull, titled DANNY BOY. The name Danny Boy is moulded onto the front of the storage-chest on which he is seated.
Kingston Pottery produced three series of character/toby jugs between 1978 and 1982; these being English Royalty with each chosen character being of some notoriety, Charles Dickens' characters and lastly, characters assoicated with Irish songs of which Danny Boy is one from a set of four. The other characters in this third series were Phil the Fluter, Molly Malone and Mother Machree. This third series including Danny Boy were produced from 1980 to 1982.
Kingston Pottery was established during the mid-1970's by brothers John and Herbert Love, both of whom had extensive previous experience in the pottery retail business around Hull. Kingston Pottery began on a small scale and the business rapidly expanded on the success of it product sales which included earthenware, fine bone china, animal and human figurines and from 1978 character and toby jugs. During 1984 the business went into rapid financial decline due to a combination of becoming financially over-stretched and consequences of the long-running coal miners strike from December 1984. Relying heavily on coal for their kilns, Kingston Pottery has to import far inferior coal and at a far higher cost as well. In June 1985 Kingston Pottery went into receivership and the business broken up and each part sold as a going concern.

The statue of Molly Malone (aka 'The Tart with the Cart') in Dublin.
More info here.
In Dublin’s Fair City
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheel’d her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!
Chorus:
Alive, alive o! Alive, alive o!
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!
She was a fishmonger
But sure ’twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they each wheel’d their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!
(Chorus)
She died of a fever
And no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!
(Chorus)

The Molly Malone statue is located in Suffolk Street, a short distance from Trinity College and Grafton Street. Molly Malone was a semi historical, semi-legendary figure who was commemorated in the song 'Cockles and Mussels', a Dublin anthem.
As well as being known and sung internationally, the popular song 'Cockles and Mussels' has become a sort of unofficial anthem of Dublin City. The song's tragic heroine Molly Malone and her barrow have come to stand as one of the most familiar symbols of the capital.
