Snap! Airtricity vs Krusty

I'm in Ireland, in Waterford to be precise, ahead of three days preaching comics in schools here, and an ad just came up above my mailbox for Airtricity (as the name suggests, they're in Eire, they do electricity), with the oddest advertising character. Is it just me or is there a similarity...?
