A few months ago I wanted to create a comic that challenges the traditional norms of a (web) comic by introducing absurd and abstract structure. I don't wish anyone to comment "I don't get it", because sometimes "getting it" means not getting it.
Do not expect the traditional build-up, build-up, punchline-composition from all comics. Several are very open to interpretation.
I came up with "Runkkula", a portmanteau of the words "Runkku" which means wanker/masturbation and "-la", which is the suffix for a place or a setting.
Here are the original comics for Finnish readers.
Here are all of them, translated. I apologize for the shoddy fonts in the first 19. I drew them by hand and don't have really the resources to retouch them perfectly. The 20th and the first colored strip is where I began digitalizing everything so the quality is better in every way in every strip after that.
