Dick's got the scabbard, but *she* has the blade....

Based on the totality of the parts of green outfit illustrated in this cover, they are in conflict about who gets to dress entirely as a leprechaun and who gets to parade around as nature intended. The current division of the costume is unsatisfactory, and thus the sharp disagreement.

Nobody is going to stop him from getting in to see the Wizard.

>3 Hammy_JLK: One wonders if the reversal of male/female roles caused Dick to be so annoyed that he went into a fit of throwing things by chucking a leprechaun off said towers.

Or if Dick's just really peeved they were out of Shamrock Shakes when he got there.

The lady doesn't have a scabbard for her sword, so one suspects she's pilfered it from its rightful owner.

It seems to be an entirely sensible basket-hilted design, though, much unlike dropping one, whose S-shaped blade would be good for slashing, but whose hilt looks just daft.

I wonder whose blood is on it, anyway; none of the three characters one visible appears to be bleeding, and there's enough blood on it that whoever was cut presumably has a seriously if not terminally bad day.

I further submit that Dick should pick on (or up) someone his own size.

>8 AndreasJ: Oh, Dick probably tried to pick up the lady (you know he wants to), but she does have a sword and he doesn't....

>9 Hammy_JLK: Taking out his frustration on Greenie.

Note the sword on the right doesn't fit in the green scabbard... did damsel swipe Dick's basket hilt?
