St. Patrick’s Day is upon us once again, and with high gas prices and Wall Street shenanigans, it was inevitable that we’d have a batch of clever cartoons featuring leprechauns and their pots of gold.

So if the luck of the Irish hasn’t been with you this year, at least you can take a break and enjoy these cartoons (corned beef not included):
