Fingerpori is a pun-oriented, and often impossible to translate, Finnish comic by Pertti Jarla.


'eläviä muistoja' could also be understood as 'living souveniers'








'that didn't quite go down the tube'
this is one of those untranslatable ones. a ski tube or ski tunnel (hiihtoputki) is a round the year ski facility, but 'putki' also stands for doing something for a long time in a row, eg. "he's been having a drinking tube since Christmas" and conversely if you fail at something then you can say it didn't go into the tube.


This is a perfect example of Fingerpori: sexual pun, Donald Duck cameo and a setup that is only barely understandable for non-Finns (Donald Duck is Finland's most popular comic book magazine and is delivered every Wednesday)

For those who came in late, you should also know that the Phantom is a recurring Fingerpori character.

Phantom's Skull Cave is even located within Fingerpori city limits, this is canon.

As I understand it taxidermy only uses the skin of the animal, the interior is entirely artificial - hence the name, from the same root as "dermalogical" and other skin-related terms. In mummification much of the body's internal structure, like the skeleton, remains inside the mummy.

Fingerpori





This is Uuno Turhapuro, a popular comedic character. The headline at the end is the title of one of the 19 Uuno films, literally "Uuno Turhapuro in army's bread". Being "in [someone]'s bread" means being paid salary by [someone].




In recent years there have been several revelations of students or candidates of medicine getting themselves employed as actual MD's, only discovered after they have done damage.





No joke, Finns actually say the line aloud because it's easier that way (yksi viiva kolme), the alternative is to conjugate the numbers (yhdestä kolmeen) and gently caress that :effort:

like seriously, 'one' (1) conjugates

Fingerpori


It makes sense in Finnish.



Speed cameras are called "tin policemen" in Finland.





It makes sense in Finnish.



Blowing is slang for stealing.



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.



"Pitoihin" = to the party
"Pitoihin"= to the pita breads



This one is brilliant but untranslatable.

Lasten neurologi = Children's neurologist
Lastenne urologi = Your children's urologist

"I'm NOT your children's urologist!

Finnish works with suffixes, eg. if lapsi is child then lapsettomuuksistammekaan is the word for 'even despite our lacks of children'.

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

This is an old one:
