Taisteluplaneetta Trikkis

Tässä se on. Valokuvattuna, koska alkuperäset piti jättää kirjastolle, kun ne skannaa ne siellä ja laittaa nettiin, mutta siinä tunnetusti menee viikkoja.

In English:  Kaamos = The polar night occurs when the night lasts for more than 24 hours. This occurs only inside the polar circles. The opposite phenomenon, the polar day, or midnight sun, occurs when the sun stays above the horizon for more than 24 hours. (from Wikipedia) Here in Finland we often talk of Kaamos when we mean the darker half of the year, mostly winter. If the dark and cold days really get to you you could get the kaamosmasennus, kaamos depression.

I only have photos of the comic at the moment because I had to left the pages for the library staff to scan. It always takes a really long time so instead of waiting you can read the pages with photo quality :’)
The translation is below every page.

Damn it! / What?

I forgot to buy the detergent. / Well, you can borrow mine until next time. / Thanks!

I always forget something… / Hey… What’s that?

A bum? / Hmm… / Looks pretty decent / Well besides the fact that he’s lying there face in snow.

We should probably call an ambulance. / yeah. / But you do it. I forgot my phone. / Okay. / Augh!

The battery’s dead. / You’re kidding.

Luckily it’s not a long way.

And the answer is correeeect!

Ooh! He’s alive!!

Would you like some hot cocoa? / Um, sure. / So… / I am Kaamos.

Excuse me? / Kaapo? ( a Finnish name) / No, Kaamos. / What an odd name to give…

You know, the darkest time of the year, when the sun doesn’t rise?  Winter solstice and so on. / I’m sorry but you dont exactly look like a natural phenomenon. /Haha! Yeah…

I’m in this form because I’m on a business trip. / Business trip? / What kind of work do you do? / I make people depressed. / Kaamos depression?!

But… I haven’t really been myself lately. / It used to be so much easier before! Nowadays they have all kinds of day light lamps and ear lights and- / People eat all kinds of vitamins and medicine and stimulants.

SIIIGHHH / I think I might be depressed…

Did I get this right? / Your job is to depress people, and now that they’re not so easy to depress, you’ve gotten depressed? Is that it?

I guess. / But wouldn’t it be nice if people were happy? / That’s what Midsummer does. She’s my sister. / Though it annoys her too when all those stupid drunkards drown themselfs on midsummer eve.

There needs to be a balance. But I don’t feel like doing this anymore. People aren’t depressed enough. / I have an Idea! Grab your coats!

Don’t leave me! Don’t leave! I need you! (a song by a Finnish band Mamba)

Don’t ever go away! / I think my wife is cheating on me. / That’s rough. / My boss hates me. I can’t do this anymore. / Should I just go and hang myself? / I’ve been thinking of doing the same.

Do you come here often? / Usually when we stress about studies. / Gives things some perspective. / You know / I’m feeling so much better already.

Thank you! / There is still hope. I can continue my work/ Thank you. See you again! / Bye bye!

My professor hates me… / I will never graduate…
