Quality comics, part foo: Viivi & Wagner
The eighth collection, Ranskalainen Liukumäki, is out.
Hilarious as ever. I thought it had stagnated during the few last years a little, but ended up laughing out loud several times.
Too bad these albums are not definitive collections, a lot of the published strips are left out - as simple mathematics will tell you 46 pages x 4 ~= 180 strips, which is a lot less than the 290+ published annually (there’s no sunday strip). The unofficial (but very credible) facts about which are left out are available from Miikka Lakoma’s encyclopaedic comics pages.
The comic probably does not translate that well, being thoroughly imbued with the finnish national character. The first album has been pushed into sweden already, no idea how well’s it been selling.
The daily dose is available from the web as well as the closest newspaper. And they seem to have a full archive present there, but without a proper navigation system.
