Mind you, if I recall correctly the IRL inspiration for Farley was put down* shortly after Lynn had her first kid because tiny infants and sheepdogs aren't necessarily the best fit, so if you're deeply uncharitable you could read it as another rewriting of her life to make it more picturesque and also make her kids more directly responsible for something unfortunate happening. *correction two posts down.

B. Virtanen![]() The office manager is called Mr. Nilkén. The name is a wordplay of the word "nilkki", which means something like "slimeball", "petty thief" or "scumbag". The surnameifized form is styled after Swedish surnames, and the reason for that is a jokey reference to stereotypes of Finnish-Swedish people. Finland used to belong to Sweden before becoming a part of Russia in 1809, and when Finland became independent, it opted to have two official languages, namely Finnish and Swedish. Due to historical reasons, Swedish families in Finland tended to be some of the wealthiest ones, and last I knew most of the richest families here still have very obviously Swedish surnames and so on. This, combined with the general perceived rivalry between Finland & Sweden, has led to a lot of stereotypes and such regarding Finnish-Swedish people, marking them as being "old money" or especially snobby, and coining phrases such as "svenskatalande bättre folk" ("Swedish-speaking better people".) I probably got my history here completely and embarrassingly wrong, but that's something of a summary as to why this specific slimy character is named as he is. (I'll try to give a little introduction to the main characters but they'll generally be much shorter than this because I really don't know much about this strip and don't really want to find out more.) ANSU ![]() ![]() Johnny Walker posted:New comics, yay! I look forward to more. Especially the Ansu cartoons. That looks like my kind of stuff. ![]() Hempuli fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jul 21, 2020 |

SOMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN![]() Now the question is, will we now be subjected to a week of wishy-washy "I didn't mean it" poo poo even though they're both obviously into each other? Or, since they're both "bad" characters, will they be allowed to make out?

riderchop posted:ive been thinking of posting the webcomic here in light of mr boop being posted but.....it feels weird idk I say go for it, from what I've seen it's a lot better than the newspaper version so far. Speaking of Mr Boop, I'm not saying to stop posting it or anything but out of curiosity why exactly is it in this thread? Is it actually being published anywhere (which seems unlikely given the fact that most of the cast consists of copyrighted characters), does the author have another strip that does get published, what?

Larryb posted:I say go for it, from what I've seen it's a lot better than the newspaper version so far. I'm actually not sure why either aside from a gut feeling that it's a better fit here than in the webcomic thread, and because there's precedent in the wolf comic being grandfathered in. I don't really need to see like, Questionable Content in two threads at once so I don't want people to see a webcomic they like and think "oh neat, off I go to the comic strip thread to share," but I think Mr. Boop is an ok fit for this thread and the webcomic Rae the Doe strips would also be a useful counterpoint to the syndicated strips.
