A new year a new comic! Into Ilves is an adventure comic strip by Finnish cartoonist Egon Meuronen (who also created Surgeon's Tales which I posted for the last three years). The strip ran in Helsingin Sanomat 1949-1954 and was Meuronen's first long-running strip after two short propaganda series he drew during the war. The comic follows the titular hero Into (whose name causes some confusing sentences when used in English) who wanders around rural Finland and helps people in trouble. After reading the first 80 strips I'm still unsure what year it's set in. Some suits in the first strip seem pretty modern which could mean it's post-war setting, but outside that the only piece of technology I've seen are firearms and it could easily be the 1920s or even the late 19th century. Not that it matters all that much. The comic's setting and stories remind me of the first years of Mark Trail. It's quite fast paced and plot progresses with heroes and villains doing extremely stupid decisions one after another. It's pretty fun from what I've seen so far, but nothing particularly amazing and the scan quality isn't all that great. Nevertheless, once again, this is probably the first time anyone has translated it, so enjoy this curiosity!   Nancy  Dustin  Mandrake  WHAAAAAT?

Medenmath posted:I'm pretty sure we're supposed to think Dustin is childish for wanting to spend time with the neighbor kid. The problem with this is we also see him working as a substitute teacher, and this is the one job he seems to like okay, so it doesn't really work. He just comes off as being good with kids. Dustin and Luann should get together.

Into Ilves  I guess it should be noted that many farms/rural houses used to have a name that was same/similar than the last name of the people living there. So "Routavaara" refers both the place and Tatu's last name. The original text doesn't technically use it as a pure last name, but calls him "Routavaara's Tatu", which is still somewhat common in Finnish language, but (at least to me) feels unnatural in English, so I go with strict <first name> <last name>.

I hope Wilbur is saved by a mermaid and she becomes a regular character.

Mister Kingdom posted:How many people expect it to be a dream/fantasy sequence? Probably not, since surviving that is still a reasonably believable outcome (it happens in real life even though it's unlikely). Of course they could also kill him, which would be pretty hilarious, but I don't see reason to remove the only interesting character in the entire comic.

Into Ilves I try my best to avoid the English word "into" to keep these more readable, but sometimes one sneaks in.  Nancy  Dustin  Mandrake
