Mielisairaalan kesätyttö

In Mielisairaalan kesätyttö, Viivi Rintanen brings her singular vision as both writer and artist to a single-issue comic from Suuri Kurpitsa, launched in 2015 and continuing as an ongoing series. The story follows a young woman taking a summer job at a mental hospital, exploring the quiet, surreal, and human moments found within those walls. Rintanen’s delicate, expressive linework and understated storytelling create a poignant, slice-of-life portrait that stands out in Finnish independent comics.
