Chistr Happens…


Here’s a drawing of a Breton bloke who’s had a bit too much “chistr” staggering out of the cider house. The title “Douce Ivresse” translates as “tipsy.” Notice the gent’s concerned-looking escort (perhaps the barmaid) carrying his hat and stick.

Thanks to Joanne Gagnon of Celtic Beat for sharing this photo from an antique postcard. Click on the image above for a closer (and clearer) look at it.

This actually looks like Mance when he's had too much Chistr!
