About the series
In Niilo Pielinen, Finnish cartoonist Jorma "Jope" Pitkänen created a long-running slice-of-life series for Semic that ran 17 issues from 1987 to 1997. The strip follows the everyday adventures and quiet humor of its titular character, a mild-mannered everyman navigating the quirks of modern Finnish life. Pitkänen's warm, observational style made the series a beloved staple of the Finnish comics scene, capturing the gentle absurdities of the ordinary with a knowing, affectionate eye.
