 "Suddenly I don't wish to return to my parents!" Attachments: |

 "Rauno still has to do his part in taking care of Zimmla, OK?" "A ton of lard like that will eat us out of the house! We'd be better off with a chihuahua!" Attachments: |
| |
 "What's that collar he has around his neck? Let's investigate... If you allow me, Zimmla." "There's nothing but the name... Nice-looking collar, but hardly worth anything." "I don't think he'll become Rauno's dog, but do you like Zimmla, Tauno?" "Yes!" Attachments: |
| |
 "Zimmla? What a strange name, like an alien. And he's weird-looking, too." "All white, except for those light brown spots on his back. And what about that tail...?" "A pom-pom tail would suit better than this long one." "Hey, you can't wag a pom-pom! And I look too much like a rabbit already!" Attachments: |
| |
 "A short-haired dog!" "You're not terribly disappointed, are you?" "Yes, he is, and so am I! He doesn't even have any manners! Now we're taking him back!" "Hey, he IS long-haired!" Attachments: |
| |
 "Did they come...?" "Hi, Tauno, sorry that we're so late." "At last you arrived! Did you find..." "...a long-haired..."? Attachments: |
| |
 "Just this one more thing, and I've soon gotten this computer up'n'running perfectly!" "No... This doesn't inspire me either. I just keep thinking about the dog... It takes an unbearably long time for them!" "And if I don't think about the dog, then I think about my parents... How they're doing..." Attachments: |
| |
 "We don't know Zimmla's breed at all. A touring circus sold him to us, without telling anything else but the name." "Might be a mixed breed, but we can't even guess what mix." "Hmm... did you say circus?" "In that case he must know a lot of tricks! Come, Zimmla!" "At least he knows one..." Attachments: |
| |
 "Right! This dog chose us as his masters, so he's ours now!" "What name shall we give him? Does he have a name already?" "Yes, but it's quite an unusual one. It's Zimmla." "Zimmla?" "I don't like it! And not the name either!" Attachments: |
| |
 "We've been here for four and a half hours! This seems hopeless...!" "HEYYYY!!" "How did that one get free?!" "Ugh! Aagh! Get that ton of bricks away from my stomach!" "I think he likes you!" Attachments: |
| |
 "Are you looking for a specific breed?" "Nooo, our opinions were mixed real bad." "We're hoping that we could point at a certain dog and say: "That's the one!"" After four hours... "Um... er..." "Could you try to choose already?! I'm losing my nerves!" Attachments: |
| |
 "Where are you going?" "To the nearest doghouse. You stay here." "It's not fit that you and Rauno quarrel in public. We'll get a dog that happens to suit us." "A long-haired one, OK?" "What long-haired breed eats the least and looks the best when shaven?" "A job for Rauno: dog breeding for dog haters. Success expectancy: nonexistent." Attachments: |
| |
 "I'm getting hungry! But walking to the fridge is out of the question!" "Those two should not be left alone to quarrel!" Attachments: |
| |
 "Please, get a dog, will you? Don't listen to Rauno, buy one! I want to choose the breed!" "Actually Rauno should be the one to choose... All right, search the book." "A short-haired one, definitely! Preferably a hairless one, so we don't have to clean the furniture every day." "No! I like furry breeds!" "Let's make a compromise and buy a poodle!" Attachments: |
| |
 "Tuomas, I know you only mean well, but..." "Don't say anything! There's still one stage left in your course of treatment for temperance!" "We'll get a dog!" "NO!!!" "We should get it for Tauno, to cheer up his boring life." "Own dog, neighbour's dog, what's the difference? And his parents would say no anyway." Attachments: |
| |
 "It's no use to teach you even basic facts about using a computer. We give up." "So, you owe Tauno his teaching fees, and me the price of the computer." Ensimmäiseen ruutuun improvisoin tussausvaiheessa Raunon näyttämään kieltä tietokoneelle. Ruutu olisi jäänyt muuten tylsäksi. I första rutan improviserade jag Raunos tungvisning medan jag tuschade, så att rutan inte blev för tråkig. On the first panel I improvised Rauno to show his tongue at the computer while I inked, otherwise the panel would have become boring. Attachments: |

 "OK, time to blow the play dead." "Intermission! Come to the penalty box to have some juice and sandwiches." "What will happen in the next period?" "You'll get disqualified." Attachments: |
| |
 "I think I'll draw a nasty caricature of you!" "If I only were at the pub with a couple of pints in front of me." "I'm trying to explain to you how to use this drawing program, but even this caricature doesn't seem to bother you!" "You wanna know why?" Attachments: |
| |
 "Darn! There went the whole business!" "Wonderful! You can't possibly explain how to use a fine tuning mallet by speaking fancy gobbledygook." "The reason this machine crashed was because you tried to do too many things at once! May I request that you don't interfere when I try to get this system to work!" "I think the direction of this mallet just changed!" Attachments: |
| |
 "I'd like to know why an unemployed man should learn how to work a computer." "You can take the form of a wizard or a brave knight, and experience wild adventures collecting spells and slashing mean monsters!" "Tuomas, kick that computer game maniac out of here and hire an engineer to guide me!" Attachments: |
