Socker-Conny

Joakim Pirinen’s Socker-Conny is a surreal, one-shot Swedish comic from 1985, published by Tago, that introduced a bizarre, deadpan world of existential humor and grotesque, minimalist art. As both writer and artist, Pirinen crafted a singular, cult-favorite character whose absurd adventures have lingered in Scandinavian comics consciousness for decades. Its raw, offbeat charm marks a key early moment in Sweden’s alternative comics scene.
