The weird dates on Calvin and Hobbes might be from Watterson's sabbaticals, or from GoComics being borked by their site change. The strip for December 31st, 1995, is correct, though, and I don't have access to TCCaH right now, so we'll just ride this train.

I can't blame this inaccuracy on the writer being a baby boomer because I'm pretty sure even back in the day siblings of that age were more likely to call each other shiteating cocksuckers.

The first Fingerpori strip saw daylight in Helsingin Sanomat on 5 February 2007. HeSa is holding a poll on readers' favorite strips (close your eyes and scroll through the necronomiconian moon babble article lest your brain develops some fancy tumour and you start craving for rye bread and vodka):


The best Fingerpori strip is Viperless milk



Speech bubble: “Well that’s expensive”

Maito = Milk
Kyyttö = Rare Finnish cattle breed
Kyytön maito = Kyyttö’s milk
Kyy = Viper
Kyytön = “Viperless”

It makes sense in Finnish - 'läppä' means joke, wisecrack etc. There's probably an English synonym that would pass but my thesaurus had nothing.

Maybe crock? It's not commonly used, but can be understood to mean a nonsensical lie as well as a type of jar.

Big Nate teaches the Tinkersons that you don't even necessarily have to show the art in your joke about the art as long as you remember to tell an actual discernible joke goddammit



The king should probably be worried about that.

Also, Big Nate isn't great, but it lands good jokes a decent amount.

Also, I was amused by today's Dustin, and happy 10th to Fingerpori. Viperless milk is still a great introduction to it.
