Happy Midsumme Day

Sent by Airi from Kemi, Finland

This Finnish holiday (Juhannuspäivä) is celebrated each year on the Saturday falling between June 20th - 26th. It has become one of the most important holidays in Finland, not surprising as its northern location means this is a time of year when the sun hardly sets. Festivities start on the Friday before, known as Midsummer's Eve.

It is Summer - Take it easy

Kamala Luonto cartoon

Kamala luonto (Finnish for "The awful nature") is a Finnish comic strip written by Jarkko Vehniäinen and Marja Lappalainen and drawn by Vehniäinen. The name of the series parodies a well known Finnish nature documentary series, Avara luonto ("The ample nature"). Nowadays Kamala luonto is published in about 20 magazines and is one of the most popular comics in Finland. It is also published in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
 

Take it Easy

The pig and the sheep are tame animals, who live in a human farm. They are unaware that they are only raised to be eaten, which causes constant amusement to the main characters.

The moose is, despite his bad luck, an eternal optimist. He is always desperately trying to find love.

The fox is crazy but sympathetic. He isn't always so bright.

The weasel and the lynx are the main characters. They are good friends with each other, and share a passionate hobby: hunting, killing, and eating prey. They also like to joke with each other, and particularly enjoy flatulence jokes.
