Kurt Wagner and the little people

4 pages from Uncanny X-Men #103, so it is.

The X-Men are on vacation in Ireland, so of course that means leprechauns.

Sure, you hear people who will go on and on about how Claremont is, like, the greatest writer the X-Men ever had and every story he wrote was just so perfect...
But he also wrote the X-Men meeting actual leprechauns.

There is room, methinks, to suggest he actually wrote some total nonsense as well.


Did Cassidy Keep have a lab before Black Tom took it over, or what?
(From what the rest of the issue shows, it's in a good place for storms. Handy if you were some sort of mad scientist wanting to, just to make a random example, revivify some sort of creature with massive amounts of lightning.
...
y' almost expect someone to turn around and find Marty Feldman standing there...)

Yeah, the whole "Storm likes to be naked" thing.
Which...
... yeah...

Why not? They've met every other creature under the sun. Elves, dwarves, gnomes, demons, fairies...why not leprechauns? What's wrong with leprechauns?
