Nah, the man and snake have an entirely different relationship dynamic than Garfield and Jon. They love and support each other to the extent that the dude's pleasantly thralling for the snake's insatiable murder lust. Also a snake on a leash is wonderful, what's wrong with you.

But what did he mean by that?

There was a comic by the same artists which showed a dude riding Hitler and a policeman was telling him "Wenn Sie keinen Führerschein haben, dürfen Sie auch keinen reiten!" (If you don't have a driver's licence you're not allowed to ride one) and it took me way too long until I finally made the connection between Führer and Führerschein :v:

Aw, I didn't know about that. I always liked his comics. But then it also feels appropriate to post another one of his comics.

It's called "Himlens Änglar", meaning just "Heaven's Angels". A reoccuring theme in it is that when you die, you just turn into an angel on the spot and carry on whatever you were doing, with angels often hanging around on Earth, but not visible to humans. God and the Devil are also reoccuring characters, as well as an angel with glasses serving as God's secretary. Though, God isn't quite as common a character as these following strips might imply, it's just that most of the strips I could find included Him.


"Is that him?"


"Wake up, Lord, it's time to become omnipresent again"


"...and now if you click on that one the Red Sea will part"


"Go see what he wants"


"Oh my Lord!"
"How about playing now and talking less"


"No, it's called clearcutting"




"He was so full of antics"
"And now he just lies there"


"We'll have to bring that one down to earth"

Oh yeah, I translated a couple of Himlens Änglar strips and posted them in the Comic Strip Megathread a few years ago, but it didn't seem as well liked as Pyton (and I agree, Pyton is the better comic) so I never got terribly far. I can check if I've still got the strips I did scan and translate lying around somewhere though.

It was just never as visually clever as Pyton, and way more reliant on dialog.

I guess that comic doesn't really translate to English. "Föryngringsyta" is a spin term, used by the logging industry since the Swedish word for clear cut ("kalhygge") was made politically charged by the environmental movement of the 80's. The literal meaning would be something like "rejuvenation area", I can't come up with a good English translation. The joke works so damnably well in Swedish though.

Sorry to hear he passed, he was pretty big in the dailies when I was growing up.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the translation of that one. I wasn't entirely sure about what "föryngringsyta" meant, but it seemed to just be a different word for "kalhygge", so I went from that. Wasn't aware of that history of the term, so that means I didn't even get the original joke. So it goes.

Also of note is that he is the only cartoonist (that I know of) who was also a diplomat. He worked for the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs between 1963 and 1998 when he retired and became a full time cartoonist. I always loved his style. RIP Jan.

If I were to translate that one into Danish, I'd probably use byfornyelse. "Urban renewal" in English and "sanering" in Swedish. Not an accurate translation, but it works imo.

It's where he kept the mysterious lump which grew out of his chest and was whispering at him to murder people.

Also, he stitched the lump into the guy he beat with the wrench.
