KUTI#45 – Uusi Hölmölä / New Hoelmoelae is out! The comics of this issue find their pre-history in popular stories of rather simple people, living in Hoelmoelae (or in Schilda in Germany, in Kilplala in Estonia, in Gotham in Great Britain…) and perhaps living in the countryside or somewhere else, of all countries worldwide. People of Hoelmoelae are usually trying to solve some problems and then being very fast deciding how to! Does this sound familiar?
In this issue Finnish comic artists draw their own versions of those stories, based on experiences of the stupidity in today’s society. So this Kuti is complaining district for comic artists on various social, personal and political topics. Here you are!
