Mr Brown, after his rousing trip to Suomi-Finland, handed me two newspaper sized comics. One was the slightly larger than A3 Kuti #25. This issue had some great black and white and colour strips in it plus an article on the Flemish (Belgium) Small Press.

But what just made me sit back in a heap, totally blown away (I don't write that often) was the July-Christmas issue of Kuti -#34. I have taken this image from the web as my A3 scanner....well, the pages do not fit on it. The cover is not as bright yellow as this but more a tint of yellow.
Now you may wonder why a page will not fit on my A3 scanner? Well, Kuti #34 is A2 so like one of the old Tome newspapers.
I flipped through this several times. The cover story continues throughout the publicationnd is just superb. At the bottom of each page is an English translation. But I just....I was amazed by the art and at that size -there are pages involving huge sets of steps and to draw and shade all of those...incredble
Suomi-Finland is not a massively populated country by any means and yet they can produce so many comics, newspaper comics and graphic novels.
It really is a totally different attitude -as I pointed out in my Pekka A. Manninen interview I really need to get to that country!
My THANKS to Mr Brown for these two gems.
