The more Savarna is revealed to be dangerously unstable the less I see the appeal. Remind me why you were so insistent on rescuing her, again, Ghost?

She helped him rescue his wife from this same prison, so he owes her I guess. I'm disappointed in how they're handling her as I remember her being less crazy, but it's also been like fifteen years since that storyline so maybe I'm misremembering her.

Samovar posted:What the heck is the goat the boy in the background is referring to? Satan? there's an element of masonic ritual that they refer to as "the goat" when around outsiders as to not let people in on what it actually is. presumably in 1923 when a lot more people were freemasons this would have been common knowledge

Fingerpori Thor is of course Thor, and "Björn" is Swedish for "a bear". Now you know what the name Thorbjörn (or Torbjörn) means!

Breadmaster posted:Is Thorbjorn a particularly common Swedish name? I don't know the name statistics for Finland but about 11000 people in Sweden has "Torbjörn" (with that specific spelling which is the most common one) as their primary name and an additional 10k as one of their names, compare that to the most common name for men, Lars at 83k and you'll see it's not especially rare, about 1 in every 1000 Swedes answer to the name Torbjörn Hel fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Jan 27, 2023 |

In Finland there's only 786 Torbjörns and 80 Thorbjörns, so it's not very common

I like how Val's kids are loving with weapons, but at least he's nearby in case they get hurt. Lynn, meanwhile, gives a toddler back a button she presumably just poo poo out?

The_Other posted:Solver 9: Boys Like Fun Part 1 That Formula One joke got me good, haha B. Virtanen  I probably complained about it last time too, but that last comic there encapsulates why this comic sucks really well. ANSU   Fingerpori  In Finnish, last call at bars is called "pilkku" ("comma") or "valomerkki" ("light signal"). The latter is because the last call is traditionally signified by the lights being switched off and on a couple times. For the former, my best guess is that the last call marks a comma in the evening, i.e. a punctuation but not the end yet.
