Yes, you could say we've heard of it. It's been on Helsingin Sanomat's comics page since 1956.

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.
