Fingerpori #7

The seventh collection of Pertti Jarla's beloved Finnish comic strip Fingerpori arrives in this 2014 edition from Arktinen Banaani, its bright yellow cover dominated by the wonderfully grumpy, frizzy-haired face of one of the strip's signature characters, complete with round spectacles and a beaded necklace. Jarla's loose, expressive linework gives the portrait an immediate, lived-in charm that fans of the series will recognize instantly. A fine addition to the shelf for anyone who enjoys sharp, absurdist humor with a distinctly Finnish sensibility.
