HOSSA 3/3: A WOLF IN WOLF’S CLOTHING

”Hey, there’s some large animal over there!” //
”What is it?” ”Looks like a dog…” ”A dog? Here?” ”It couldn’t be…” ”Rana I’ll take your boots!” ”Yeah!” //
”It was a WOLF!” //
”Where to I have to be to be alone…”

”Hey guys. Our car froze.” //
”Push!” ”It won’t move.” ”We have to call the car rental company.” //
”…great, thank you. They’ll send someone to check it out.” //
”Now they’re coming!” ”They’re opening the engine bonnet!” ”They’ve got some sorta battery.. thingy.” //
”The car is working!!!”

”Our car freezing is your fault, Kati.” ”How so?” //
”Because you kept saying that this trip was going way too smoothly.” ”Indeed. And I didn’t even have to deal with the car.” //
”Yeah, because I fixed that problem!” ”I see this as an absolute win!” //
”But that was one fun trip! Now I’ve been organizing these winter trips for four years, that’s enough.” //
”I can organize the next one. But I want to have one properly in the wilderness, with a tent. And no matches!” ”Can I sign up already?”

Snowshoes vs. snowshoe skiis
Uphill: ”Consistently heavy.” vs. ”Aaah! Slippery!” //
Flat land: ”Consistently heavy.” vs. ”Easy and fast!” //
Downhill: ”Consistently heavy.” vs. ”Whiiiiiiaaaaaaahhhh!!!” //

”Phh! Man this is slippery!” //
”Go, Romeo! You can do it!” ”!” //
[Humming Binary Sunset by John Williams] //
[Continuing Binary Sunset] //
[The end of Binary sunset really loud!] //
”It worked!” ”Huzzah!”

”A wise person once said…” //
”’Learn from other people’s mistakes. While making fun of them making those mistakes.'” //
”…” //
”And who was it that uttered these wise words?” ”Me. Just now.” //
”… I see.”

”I think I’m gonna lurk back to my own bed to sleep now.” //
”Now there’s a fun word there. ’Lurk’.” ”Lurk.” //
”Lurk.” ”Lurk.” ”Lurk.” ”Lurk.” ”Lurk!” //
”Bwahahahahahahaha!” ”Hehehehehee!” //
”Hehehe. Phew.” ”Woah. Okay. …lurk.” //
”Hahahahaha! ”Hehehehehe!” ”?”

”Hmph. My butt is cold and I don’t have woolen pants.” //
”But I do have this other large woolen shirt…” //
”Hnngh!!!” //
”Ta-dah!” //e
”That looks really dumb.” ”Well, yeah… but could you still MacGyver approve it?” //
”Sure. It is creative and it works.” ”Yay!” //
This method is 100% MacGyver approved!

”I go work on my snow cave.” ”Are you taking that candle with you?” //
”Yes.” ”Be careful not to burn your snow cave. Haw haw.” //
”A pile of combustion product cannot burn.” ”Explain your physics, please.” //
”What is burning if not matter combining with oxygen? And water – hence, snow as well – is just hydrogen combined with oxygen.” //
”Water – even in its frozen form – is therefore a burning product that no longer can combine with oxygen. So no need to worry.” //
”Woah! Mind blown!”

HOSSA 1/3: HERE WE GO AGAIN

Olen ollut Hossassa talviretkellä ennenkin. Sen reissun tunnelmia täällä.
I’ve been to Hossa national park before. Comics from that trip can be found here.


”I could start organizing the winter trip again.” //
”Hmm… There’s a nice-looking cabin for eight in Hossa I could rent.” //
”Last year we had rented a cabin, too, but it still turned into a painful hike.” //
”I sometimes make mistakes… but I LEARN from them!” //
”Is the road plowed all the way?” ”Yes.” ”Are you sure now?” ”We are.” //
”Maybe I can book this place now…”

”Welcome to the pre-trip meeting.” //
”To begin, everyone could introduce and tell something about themselves.” //
”I’m Temmi. I can teach you how to light a fire with just one match.” //
”My name is Eetu, and I can teach you to light a fire without matches.” //
”I am Rana. I can teach you how to be without a fire!” //
”…do I really have to stand the three of you for a week in a small cabin?”

October: ”It’s so nice to go for a trip again at New Year’s!” //
November: ”Nooooo, there’s still so much to do! Where do I get snowshoes for everyone?” //
December: ”Everything’s almost ready! Yay, winter trip!” //
The night before leaving: ”How do I pack all of this?!?” //
”Well, it all fitted in. It’s so fun to go!” //
The morning of leaving: ”No! I don’t want to get up! I don’t want to go!” //
In the train: ”Ooh, snow! It’s bound to be so pretty there!”

Train trip: ”Going nicely. And everyone was in time!” //
Renting the car: ”Smooth.” //
The road: ”Plowed all the way!!!” //
The cabin: ”Nice and in good condition.” //
Toilet: ”It’s got a styrine seat! Our butts won’t freeze!” //
”This is suspiciously easy…”

ON THE OTHER SIDE

”Hey, the sun is shining!” //
”We’re going to play role playing games!” //
”I get to spend the day with my two best friends!” //
”Yaaaaaayyy!” //
”We’re barely on the side on Espoo and Kati is completely nuts already.” ”Some just can’t handle crossing the municipality border.”

THE BEST ANIMAL

Me kaikki toki tiedämme, että vuohi on kaikista eläimistä paras.
When it comes to animals, it’s widely known that goats are the Greatest Of All Time.

Miten niin näyttää siltä, että kaikki vihreät kynäni ovat mennyttä ja joudun käyttämään loppumatonta varastoa pinkkejä tusseja värittämään milloin mitäkin?
What do you mean it seems that all my green markers are goners and I have to use all those random pink ones to color everything now?

A NEW YEAR’S POST

”Well, it’s a new year again. It’s 2024 already.” //
”Over the past year I’ve told about lots of things I’ve done here. But I also did some travelling I never turned into comics. So here’s a summary. //
As is usually do, I spent the Midsummer in Hangö achipelago. //
I had a mini vacation in Hämeenlinna with Snowhorse and we went riding horses, among other things. //
I visited relatives in Austria. ”Ooh, a fire salamander!” //
Mudkip visited me all the way from London. //
And now I’ve travelled to Northern Kainuu for the New Year’s. //
”So that’s what I’ve done. Now towards new things. Happy 2024 to everyone!”

”All right, boys. I’m going to my mum’s for Christmas, and then for New Year’s to the north. So I’ll take you along now and then you’ll stay with my mum for a while.” ”I see.” //
”I wrap your terrarium in this blanket. There’s also a hot water bottle to keep you warm.” ”How nice.” //
”Hehe. That person has Christmas presents in their bag. That one has flowers. That one clearly has Christmas food. I’ve got cockroaches…” //
”Hey, stop shaking us!” ”Sorry, boys!” //
”!” ”!” ”!” ”!” ”!” //
”Phew, the terrarium wasn’t broken. Are you all okay?” ”Yeah…” ”But let’s never do this again.” //
”We have to go back home in a couple of weeks.” ”Nooooooo!!!”

2023 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

”It’s Christmas again. And, as is the tradition in this blog, on Christmas we talk about Doctor Who.” //
”One of the most important question regarding the show is, of course, ’who is your favorite Doctor?’ So I’m going to answer that now. And no, it’s not David Tennant. Nor Tom Baker. It’s Patrick Troughton.” //
”This fellow. The second Doctor.” ”Hello!” //
”You might ask why. And it’s a fair question. I’ve only seen one story from the second Doctor, ’The Tomb of the Cybermen’, and read some books with him in it.” //
”I think everyone should get to choose their favorite based on whatever criteria they like, and here’s mine.” //
Every time a new actor takes on the role of the Doctor, my reaction is pretty much this: ”And who does this person think they are?” //
”That’s just how it goes. In the end I’ve liked all of them.” //
But with the second Doctor it never happened. He just felt like the Doctor from the start! ”I like this Doctor!” //
”I don’t think there are wrong answers to this question. But this simple reason is why the second Doctor is my personal favorite.”
