This came only a few days after a drunk Finnish man had been found trying to get a boar to penetrate him and then crashed his car. Which is perfectly legal in Finland, btw. - I mean the zoophilic act, not the drunk driving. But back to the comic. The act of forming pairs of something, like socks, is "paritella", but the word also stands for sexual intercourse.

I think you could maybe manage a similar pun in English using "paired." Regardless, great to see more Fingerpori, as always.

I like the not to subtle implication that Hobbes hid under the covers.

e: it just occurred to me that this might actually be something Calvin calls him out on, it's been a while since I read the arc.
e2: it is not, but strangely still feels like it could be.

Well, she sorta toured PoW camps and said " Everything is A-Okay and those guys claiming they got tortured by the North Viet are liars and pawns."

Yeah IIRC she actually came to regret it herself because the Vietcong shoved their fists up her rear end and used her as a puppet. Even so, it's dumb to still be sore about it in TYOOL 2017. I expect Sluggo making a snarky reference to John Kerry's service record soon.

That, and they did force her to sit on a AA gun for a photoshoot.

A picture of Hanoi Jane getting ready to blast American planes didn't exactly do wonders for her public image.

Not exactly a radical statement from today's Curtis, but still pleasantly surprising because I would have figured it'd have the "pull up your pants black kids" kinda viewpoint on modern racism.

Tracksuit

I'm sure I'm quoting these wrong, since I'm not the kind of person who remembers quotes from the Godfather movies.

So yeah, the joke's an untranslatable pun. Combination consonants are not normally used in the Korean language even with foreign words, so phonetically "Robert" is identical to "Robot".

It's All Right Chief Dharma

No matter how many times I see it happen I can't get used to the idea that in South Korea corporations are considered to have obligations to the employees, not the shareholders. I mean yeah it never works out that way in practice anyway but still.

Another untranslatable pun. The President's name is being written in such a way on the front page to look like an adverb, as that word is phonetically mostly indistinguishable from his actual name. Incidentally I don't think his name has ever been mentioned before and it appears to have surfaced here for the sole purpose of making a pun.

It's a small detail, but I appreciate that it looks like he put the two Batman ones where there are actual HOV lanes. I mean there are more now (HOV or HOT), but back when this was made I think it would have just been 270 and 66.

It makes sense in Finnish - the old jungle saying "The Phantom is rough for roughnecks" translates literally as "hard for the hard ones".
