When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

That looks enough like the Suzy Spafford as depicted on that page that I'm thinking this is a deliberate promotional cameo.

What gets me is that the shape of Mark's head is so inconsistent from panel to panel. I know artists would stretch someone's facial proportions if they're trying to do a dynamic expression, but Mark's just smiling.


It's wild that it's close to a decade and Lindesfarne's outfit hasn't changed at all. Like, I get it's supposed to be a cartoon, but we just had those set of strips a couple days ago where Joan the horse told Lindesfarne she's been wearing the same getup since high school and got her to update her look.

Also, for someone who's supposed to be a fashion designer, the flower skirt looks like the kind of pattern you'd see on a curtain.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

I always hate the comics where we see the characters as little kids or their future selves wearing the same loving outfit, because otherwise how would we know it's the same character?

Fingerpori



Pertti Jarla, the Fingerpori cartoonist, also does the occasional political cartoon. This one is pretty obvious. The signs on the left are for Finnish political parties and unions, many of whom lean right and are quite anti-LGBTQIA for 11 months of the year. Especially notable are the Perus S, True Finns, our far right racist/QAnon party. One of their senior members and a guy who frequently gets ministerial appointments when ever they get elected once made headlines when he said he was all for concealed carry (which is illegal in Finland), because he wants to have a gun handy in case a gay guy comes on to him. And of course the Christian Democrats, our weird fundies who are fighting LGBTQIA rights tooth and nail, despite Finland not being terribly religious and constantly leaning away from the church more and more.

Knowing what we do about the author, it's a little off-putting to have the teacher think "what an incredibly complex social life these people have." Just the way they say it makes it sound like kids are these utterly foreign creatures that adults refuse to relate to at all. It would've been better if the teacher said something along the lines of "jeez, i remember going through the same in school" or "i don't wanna tell her social interactions will get even more complex when she grows up."

And I guess it doesn't help that I hate how Foob characters are always doing this gormless thousand-yard stare any time another character is telling them something lol.
