Ballyscunnion was an imaginary village in Ireland created by Bill Glenn in a series of 285 scraperboard cartoons which appeared in Dublin Opinion from 1937 to 1969, with a break between 1940 and 1946 due to illness and the war. The series is a satirical social history of rural Ireland, depicting the villagers coming to to terms with social change, and often comments obliquely on national and international events.
