As always, these are good, Brooke.

I am just not able to get Zits today for some reason. Getting a bunch of "connection reset" errors. I'm on a different, slower network than usual today, so that could be it. I'll try later.

No problem with Kevin & Kell, though...



I understand the concept of Net Neutrality, but the connection here is just not working for me.

The Fingerpori Midsummer Special


Raumanmeren juhannus, or "the midsummer of the Raumanmeri sea" (Raumanmeri being the old name for Selkämeri, the Bothnian sea, and currently considered a small area of the Bothnian sea) is a three-day midsummer music festival in Rauma.

Definitely not the first time this pun has been made, but again, upbringing/raising/education and growing/breeding use the same word, kasvatus.

Ye olde pagan midsummer magics are still kind of popular. Ironically, of course. Almost all of them are related to marriage, like divining the future partner or boosting marriage luck. They're also pretty much all meant for girls as far as I'm aware. Pahani Julmu here is performing one such magic and being naked is part of it. Making garlands is part of a magic too. Speaking of him, I don't remember if his name has been explained. At any rate, it's a spoonerism of Juhani Palmu, a painter. Paha means evil/bad and julma means cruel, so it fits this mafia boss kinda guy.

Rai rai rai is... I guess I should call it drunken singing. It's like "la la la" but manlier.

You forgot to explain the title of the comic. "Juhannussima" means midsummer mead, but "Juhan nussima" can be translated as "hosed by Juha". There was a Fingerpori strip some years back that made that exact joke.

When this strip first ran, conservatives lost their loving minds. Newspapers all over the country refused to run it and replaced with something else that I can't remember right off hand. I seem to recall some papers dropping Bloom County completely.

Retail

It's a good thing Marla brought up these conflict of interest concerns before the audit instead of after so the company wouldn't have to waste a bunch of time and money on a potential recount! What a great and competent manager!


Retail has a really low bar for genius but I guess everything is relative considering the rest of the cast.

I swear Refurb is better at problem-solving than anyone else in this strip.


Wow cool a new character! I like monstrous bunny horror already!

Dustin

It's the verbal pedantry we all know and love.


Somehow I expected the punchline to be making GBS threads on Dustin but nope it's trolling the underemployed in general.

So why didn't she? After all, it presumably would've been paid for by the company and not her?

The "evil trap" is that Marla and her flunky are horrible, petty people who are more interested in office politics than the customer, which is textbook bad business, and yet somehow she's a manager. Understandably a hard trap for her to avoid.

Retail's made it clear that they don't actually give any poo poo about the customers. They pretty much just care about other retail employees who are clones of themselves.

It's heavy handed. He's just acknowledging that he's using a pretty well known literary device, it's barely a step above what TVtropes does.

The raindrops in the photo are going the same direction as the ones in the first panel, so if you buy the idea that wind doesn't change direction in a storm, he's on the same beach as the body. I deduce that something has been edited.

Nope, it's not edited. It's just the 180 rule here that's making it seem confusing, in the second panel it's facing west while in the photo it's facing east.

e: on second thought, that doesn't actually tell you which beach he's on. Eh.

We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold
If you accept that the rain must be falling at the same angle on both beaches, based on the suspects angle and perspective of the camera he can only be on an eastern beach to see the water and his right side simultaneously. However he could just be on the other bank of the river the body was found on and just have crossed over to kill the guy.
