Okay, I think Alden might get the last one... but it might be hopeless for someone not well-acquainted with the Finnish cultural “elite” and slang terms.

Here's another one with questionable taste:
I didn't know Beetle Bailey had made it to Finland; the character whose eyes we don't see looks like a clear homage to him.

Yes, you could say we've heard of it. It's been on Helsingin Sanomat's comics page since 1956.Bavarian wrote:I didn't know Beetle Bailey had made it to Finland; the character whose eyes we don't see looks like a clear homage to him.
The characters in the Fingerpori strip are, of course, "Killer" Diller, Beetle Bailey and Zero (Viki, Masi & Hönö). Sarge (Kessu) is mentioned but not seen.

Pertti Jarla (the guy drawing the Fingerpori strip) does these homage/crossover stunts occasionally. He has used especially the Phantom several times.

Getting this requires understanding of colloquial idioms...

Something wicked this way comes."
