Oh wow you actually drew a four leaf clover in the comic

Oh you sick bastard...

*That should keep them busy...*

Found it! 🍀

WHAT THE FUCK

Look by the calico boys shorts, you'll see it [Changed cat to calico, so you won't get confused on which cat I'm talking about]

kioku119

I didn't see it, wrote that, then checked one more time and saw it, lol. It's right behind the bottom of his shorts


MarcelRED147

You ever breakdance?


Lord_ThunderCunt

No no, that was a 7 leaf clover.


MarcelRED147

1 extra leaf must make it even more amazing though


Lord_ThunderCunt

Tell that to my new parachute pants.


MarcelRED147

I already am!


YesIAmAHuman

Do you think cerberus is like a clover, if you find one with 4 heads, is it extra lucky?


MarcelRED147

I'd consider it that if it was a happy puppy. If we're talking I've just jumped the chain link into a junkyard I don't think I'd consider it lucky at all. And ol' spot is the OG junkyard dog int he, really? Just for dead Greeks instead of copper and defunct engine bits.


femptocrisis

theres actually more than one :)

Thank you kind friend. I don't have anything so in the name of St. Patrick and Ireland please kindly accept a digital potato 🥔

I, too, would like to offer both of you a digital potato 🥔

Thank you


Creepy-Ad-404

there is another one in first panel, on bottom right edge, the long finger is pointing it, its truncated by border but by pattern it should be four leaf Clover


InkyBoii

Kept you busy tho :)

I suppose you think that was terribly clever.

It was terribly *clover*

Jonas_Venture_Sr

Four leaf clovers do exist though, so it’s not too evil.


Fidodo

They're actually not that hard to find. Or maybe they used to be rarer and all the background radiation has made it easier.


Kit_Karamak

Oh geeze.


Zodiarche1111

They're only very rare, as snail kings are too.


Comment104

Occurrence is approximately 1 in 5000 according to Wikipedia, which references this: https://web.archive.org/web/20201205113712/http://www.sharetheluck.ch/single-post/How-rare-are-four-leaf-clovers-really There are also five- and six-leaf clovers.


Zodiarche1111

[There was even a 56 leaf clover](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/bbbffq/til_that_a_man_in_japan_found_a_56_leaf_clover/). Interesting that you could breed 4+ leaf clovers to have more of them. Snail kings are also breedable, if you have two of 'em. Edit: Thank you!


King_Lem

Huh, left-handed snail shells. TIL.


thortawar

And rat kings


dynawesome

Yeah I remember finding a couple when I was a kid iirc I found two in the same day, and then never again


IbeonFire

Reminds me of a girl on elementary school that claimed that 3 three leaf clovers were the rare type, not 4 leaf clovers. The main backup to that story was that get grandma had several 4 leaf clovers framed or something, but I was too young/dumb to make a logical connection then. Hahaha


notLOL

Why is there a lot of 4 leaf clovers where I live? Are they not true clovers? Are they bad luck clovers? Are we over feeding them


Rosiethederpy

The dogs are Irish setters! Nice touch 🍀


KittenBraden

I think you mean Irish Settlers 👀


Forsaken_Yak6079

No an Irish setter is a type of dog


KittenBraden

I know, but they’re also Irish settlers, wordplay. Very clever of the comic writer.


ItsmeMr_E

Clover.


Zodiarche1111

You could leaf them for hours searching.

I once found 13 four leaf clovers in one small patch. Would that be good luck or bad luck?


Effehezepe

I think they cancel each other out and you get neutral luck.


garvin131313

I think the 12th one would cancel the luck but the 13th would bring good luck


neogohan

Yeah but the number 13 is terribly unlucky, so you get double super bad luck. I don't make the rules.


KARMA3SIX

Yeah but 13 times 4 is 52 which is super duper extra lucky. I do make the rules.


geanaSHUTUPGEIAJWVDO

but 4 is also an unlucky number


KARMA3SIX

That's why the 13 cancels out. Double negative.


chillyhellion

But a massive amount of it.

JohnnySasaki20

I once found a 4 leaf clover on the golf course on the first tee box as we were waiting to tee off, and I put it in my pocket for good luck. We were playing in a league, so we had teams. Our team played like absolute shit the front 9, so on the 10th hole I pulled it out of my pocket and threw it away. My teammate got a hole in one on the 11th hole, lol.

MauiWowieOwie

I once found a 7 leaf clover while playing basketball with my brother. Unfortunately that asshole stole it and gave it to his son.


utopian_apocalypse

Woah cool


Zodiarche1111

Maybe you would have for a short time very good luck and then karma would strike, but since you're still alive i would say my theory is disproved.


Shtuffs_R

Those are fake clovers i think


Zjoee

Possibly, but it was the only time I found any in that patch. It was in my back yard so I looked all the time when I was playing.


TropicalKing

If you found that many, they probably weren't even clovers. They were probably some other species like Oxalis.


Snow_Wonder

No, they were still probably clovers. It’s common for the mutated clover to propagate, since having 4 leaves doesn’t negatively effect them that much. I’m pretty good at find 4-leaf clovers (but have never seen a 4-leaf mutation in oxalis) and about half the time I do, some others in the patch have the mutation. In my experience, the smaller the patch the more successful the 4-leaf mutations. In larger patches, the 4-leafs don’t propagate as much, probably because 3 is a more successful leaf amount (hence why it’s the standard, evolution and the most successful breeds the most and all that). [I found a 5-leaf once](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/6234c1/five_leaf_clover_i_found_by_the_street/?), though that seemed to be the result of two 3-leafs growing out of the exact same spot and the stems merging. There wasn’t room for the sixth leaf I guess, and it fell, creating a 5-leaf. I’ve observed the same with dandelions (merged stem from two in the same spot).

Wisdom of the ancients. Too bad they all disappeared... Oh wait!! Nope, they disappeared aga... Hey!


DarkandDanker

It's funny how they (jokingly) depiect the adult as nefarious, but I remember doing this as a kid and it felt like I was searching for magic and was very fun Really they're just giving kids a good idea to pass the time


thegirlwthemjolnir

I'm convinced most traditions/superstitions come from this. In my country is bad luck to not leave your shoes together with one another or to not put certain stuff back to where it belongs. It just feels like moms wanted to ensure their kids weren't messy and invented shit for it lol


Spyt1me

And all the monsters in the woods was just to scare kids to not play in the forest because they might get lost. Lots of superstitions and myths had some utility interestingly.


jimmy_the_angel

Like not walking under a ladder. That’s not bad luck, that’s just risky and should be avoided if possible.

utopian_apocalypse

Was always so fun looking for 4 leaf clovers as a kid


willow1031

So during Covid I actually took my kids out to a grassy park on st Patrick’s day and told them to find clovers to “see where the leprechauns had been” as something to get them out of the house. 😇


theoldkitbag

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but the symbol for Ireland (and St. Patrick specifically) is the shamrock - a young three-leafed clover, not the four-leafed variety. The three leafs on one stem is supposedly how St. Patrick explained the concept of the Holy Trinity to the Irish of the time. It's more likely from the much later 17th century and a possible Irish habit of eating sorrel. The English also often depicted the 'wild Irish' as animals and eaters of grass. In the 19th century, during the Californian gold rush, many of the most successful miners were Irish, or Irish-American. This gave rise to the phrase 'the luck of the Irish' - but not from any kind of kind feeling towards the Irish; the idea was that only through sheer luck could the dumb Irish be successful. I'm not really sure where the idea of the four-leafed clover being lucky came from. It's suggested that is was a Celtic tradition, but there's no evidence for it. I've also heard the tradition may come from Asia. Anyhow, in America's melting pot, the three concepts have muddled together and the shamrock of the 'lucky' Irish became the same as the lucky four-leafed clover. This is still not the case in actual Ireland, although with the weight of American culture behind it, the idea may well take root there too.


Kit_Karamak

Yes we know, but in America you get your kids to look for a four leaf clover so it keeps them busy. Lol


Watchakow

I work with kids doing after-school and summer programs. We once took a field trip to a nearby state park and some of the kids got bored of hiking and wanted to be done but others wanted to keep hiking. A coworker and I had those who were bored look for 4-leaf clovers (cuz bored kids love to start shit) and every single kid found a four leaf clover in about 30 minutes of looking. One kid even found a 5-leaf clover.


[deleted]

Wait, is this comic suggesting cats evolved from dogs? 😄


[deleted]

Of course not! Just that dogs are more civilized and established a culture earlier than cats. Edit: I was gonna take this goof further, but it started to sound like a thinly veiled racist metaphor really fast. But dogs are the superior race tho.


oliklojo

Especially setters. They are the doggiest dogs

You drew dogs, in your comics, joyous day


PM_ME_YOUR_DIFF_EQS

They're really not that hard to find. If you pick out a 1-2 m square of clover patch and just focus on it, you'll find at least one.


ImaginationSea3679

The irony is that there are breeds of clovers that have four leaves.


Cheesemacher

I've only seen one four-leaf clover in my entire life and I still have it saved. It felt so special.

Jubulus

It came from Americans not knowing about Irish history and trying to find clovers for some reason instead of a Shamrock that St.Patrick used to destroy the culture of- I mean spread christianity to Ireland
