  1. Finland was first part of Sweden, then Russia. Our language has nothing to do with either of their languages. So we (Finland)got independence...

    1. All the country part of other speak the same as language. For example in Brazil speak Portuguese, the country of suth America speak Spanish. And in case of Finland was part Sweden and Russia, but have your own language.

  5. Finland vs Russia (the Winter War) is a cool story, although I mostly only know enough about it to know that it's a cool story...

    1. The Winter War happened after Finland's independence. This strip is about 1917, not 1937 (a "cool" year indeed).

  6. Hahah, nice one! :D

    For anyone wondering, the translations:
    "Kokoo kokoon koko kokko!" = "Put together the whole bonfire!"
    "Koko kokkoko?" = "The whole bonfire?"
    "Koko kokko." = "The whole bonfire."

    "Ääliö älä lyö, ööliä läikkyy" = "Idiot don't hit, the beer will spill!"

    1. Wow, that just made it even funnier than I first thought. I'd imagined that all the "koko kokko" talk was like the English equivalent of "blah blah," but for Finnish. Thanks for sharing!
