Because the old avatar made me look like I was shouting all the time, I decided to change it to a calm-looking cow. This one's from a comic strip, but which comic strip? It's an old one, I can say. Finns will probably guess this one...

(This is a really difficult one... Heehee.)

These are the worst cow jokes I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of cow jokes.

I wasn't making a cow joke. Cows are holy; where I come from.

OK, folks, it's from the old comic strip Moomin (which has nothing to do with cows, actually). If the name Moomin brings bad Japanese animations to your mind, I can tell you that the comic strip is "the original" and a really great one.

As you can see, it's a cow dressed as a martian.

Yep, by Tove and Lars Jansson. I like Tove's style best, she is (or rather was, because she died a few years ago) a "real" artist, after all, unlike her brother.

Well I wasn't sure what you meant since my finnish is rather bad. They are called Mumin here as you should know. I really liked the books when I was a kid.

They are "Muumi" in Finnish, "Moomin" in English. The comic strip isn't a comic specifically for children, though...
