Fingerpori is a daily comic strip from Finland which I originally started posting here some four years ago because the strips often featured characters like Spider-Man and The Phantom, both of which the thread had previously enjoyed. It turned out that the thread equally enjoyed the comic's weird pun-based humour and unique Finnishness. Classics like Viperless Milk (sadly lost to me, does anyone else still have a copy?) are still remembered to this day. These days it's mostly posted by fellow Finnish Goon tiistai, although many others pitch in as well. Today's strip is a great example of Fingerpori at its typical:  Wait, what? Well, you see, "purist" in Finnish is "puristi", which is also the past tense of "puristaa", "to squeeze". So it looks like the child star is accusing the mayor of being a child molester. This is a running joke in Finerpori, the poor mayor getting all his words misinterpreted. Case in point this blast from the past:  And a couple others from my archives:         Aaand loads more either here or in a convenient ZIP file!

Mr. Maltose posted:The single funniest Fingerpori, even more than the viperless milk or the cavalcade of train jokes, is the strip that reveals that the Phantom's chair is the lair of a tinier mouse Phantom. Oh you mean this one  Some other Phantoms

I'm sure most people here would be able to draw a reasonable approximation from memory alone, but Brooke? Nope, he turns in ... whatever the gently caress that loving this is. And is that a trigger guard or a wedding ring?

scarycave posted:I honestly can't tell if she's being 100% serious, or its a joke. I dunno, but it happens with every god drat comic strip and they have these little personal touches which make them sound like something that happened to her personally and made her so angry she had to make comics about it.

How many comics are there? I figure that many plus give or take ~1/3 more because sometimes there are two. And I can also kinda see where she's coming from sometimes, but she makes her points in such an infuriatingly smug and annoying way that it's hard to be sympathetic.

tiistai posted:Fingerpori I loving hate this so much. I'm mostly working from these days and I've lost count of the times that happens to me. Nobody knocks, nobody rings the doorbell, just a "sorry you weren't home" note dropped through the mail slot. I've complained at my local post office numerous times and apparently the issue is that the postmen don't bother taking these packages with them most of the time.

Remember this old Fingerpori from the past? Well, turns out Jarla's been experimenting a bit more with the character. A friend of mine posted the Finnish original on Facebook yesterday, but I haven't been able to find the source.

This is actually a thing. They are super strict about where you can build saunas. At our summer cottage our lakeside sauna is allowed to exist at the shore basically only because it was built way before these kinds of laws existed and kind of got grandfathered in. Even then we have to build an elaborate drainage system / waste water storage thing so our horribly contaminated sauna water doesn't pollute the lake. The same lake that is used by motorboats and even some kind of small cruise line. It's worth noting that this horrible menace to nature is used by two people a couple of times a week and it's so old it doesn't even have showers, so you have to wash by pouring water over yourself from a vat. Thanks to Finnish bureaucracy nature is now saved

Evil Mastermind posted:Working Daze overreacts to the Star Wars teaser. It always blows my mind that people like this still exist. People who are the stereotypical "George Lucas is God" type nerds, because all the Star Wars fans I know are of the opinion that the original trilogy was good despite Lucas, and the new trilogy was hot garbage.

Redeye Flight posted:BELA... LUGOSI'S... DEAD... I'm not sure if that line was funnier or not before I knew that was an actual song. But thanks to this thread I once again experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that is Achewood. After Pentaro's post I went back and re-read the goth arc and was happy, then I realized there will never be more Achewood again (or if there will be, just one strip every year to give us false hope) and was sad.

Kennel posted:Huh? Maybe I'm getting a massive amount of egg on my face here, but the gods, as I understand it, are the traditional theater name for the worst seats in the house, the balcony. Maybe they're watching a melodramatic or sad play, the working class together? OR knowing this comic it's a reference to some specific thing I'm not getting because I don't have a degree in 1890's history.

Larryb posted:Seriously, the early version of Charlie Brown is almost a completely different character than the modern interpretation of him, a few other characters like Lucy are different as well (albeit to a slightly lesser extent), and Snoopy looks and behaves like a regular dog. Why exactly did Schultz eventually decide to change all that? Maybe it's Homer Syndrome all over again. Snoopy became popular, Snoopy became the focal point of the comic, the comic went from "charming slice of life about kids" to "Snoopy [DOES THINGS DOGS NORMALLY DON'T DO], looks at reader, makes dated pop-culture reference, Charlie Brown says 'Oh brother'"

EasyEW posted:Peanuts (September 9, 1968) Aaand we're well and truly into the poo poo Peanuts now, where 90% of the strips follow this formula: 1. Snoopy does <THING DOGS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO> 2. Snoopy mugs for the readers 3. Breaking the fourth wall, Snoopy explains <THING DOGS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO> 4. At the same time, Snoopy makes some reference to a topical thing from 1968 which immediately makes the strip feel dated. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Sep 7, 2015 |
