#149 - Runkbulle
Monday, April 28th, 2008Did you guys see the video of Anders and Maria’s neighbourhood and the SPX summary I made? It’s all over there in my livejournal! 
Thanks to Stefan, Adam, Åsa and the queue at Kägelbanan for the inspiration behind runkbulle.
April 28th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
everything with anders is about his penis!
April 28th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
ummm… kay. ain’t quite played that drinking game. been missing out obviously.
April 28th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Ally, it’s not a drinking game. Limp biscuit (or soggy biscuit as I’ve heard it) is where guys stand in a circle over a biscuit and jack off. The last guy to finish is considered the loser and has to eat the limp, soggy, man juice covered biscuit.
Yummy… *hork*
April 28th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
where did this come from
do people really play limp biscuit?
April 28th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
what: No people really DON’T play runkbulle. It’s just Anders is very naive and was tricked into this.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Oh, anders.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
lol I know some people who’ve played, but 1: they were lonely boarding school boys and 2: they actually played it
April 28th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
the y way i learned this game (from movies only NOT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE) the looser was the one who did not hit the cookie, although in that scenario there could be several loosers.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Anders is a lonely boarding school boy.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
i’ve been reading this comic for a while and it’s getting pretty lame…
April 28th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
:(
April 28th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
I’ve been reading this comic for awhile and it’s getting even awesomer.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

I know a guy who says he and his friends played Soggy Biscuit on one rainy day during a trip through the French countryside.
Apparently he lost.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I’ve heard this about this game, but it was called “Ooky Cookie.” Poor Anders. Peer pressure sucks.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
@Rene Do not listen to the infidels they are wrong, but I from their view point it has been a bit slow lately you have spoilt us with drama after drama so now we crave it all the time! Unfortunately things (comics, life, economics, rollercoaster) doesn’t work like this, they have to come down sometime.
On the brighter side I found this little juicy quote over at Megatokyo and couldn’t stop giggling, I know my humor isn’t the best, but at this point you are at some fault missy!
“Works great, unless you type something in wrong, which happens a lot. It can also be borked if you forget to upload something, or put something in the wrong place.”
Poor Piro I wonder if he knew what he was writing?
April 28th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
For once, it’s not the comic but the message board that has the terrible content. (Terrible as in “inducing terror” not “bad”)
*HORK*

Daaaaaaaaamn, that was a bit long and my punctuation sucks.

Man I am so glad I am not a dude. D:
April 28th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
let me see if i have this straight… the others guys didn’t do anything at all? it was just anders because he wasn’t looking and didn’t see that everyone else was just sitting there?
…awkward.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
it’s like all those times my brother would go “RACE YOU!” and leave me to run all by myself!
..except with penises.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
May I state the obvious?
THAT. IS. DISGUSTING.
Thank you.
I had no idea what the hell you were talking about at first. I had repressed any and all knowledge of this… game to the back of my mind. Only my occipital lobe has any recollection.
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but EW.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
In some way it’s the same thing as with the farting… That’s the problem with not being able to say “No”.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Man.. why are they just sitting there and watching him masturbate? I bet Freud would find this situation very interesting.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
This comic is a bit of a non sequitur, no?
April 28th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
now they got to eat it!
April 28th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Aw his widdle finger is up when he drank that bottle…
So cute!
April 29th, 2008 at 12:20 am
i thought i’d been paying attention, but i cannot for the life of me figure out who these guys are.
April 29th, 2008 at 12:22 am
@snotty: You haven’t seen these guys before. This is a flashback to when Anders was in highschool.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:09 am
This is sort of a urban legend with (questionable taste) joke subcontext. See the examples in:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=limp+biscuit
(but Rene was able to reboot the joke, congrats!
)
April 29th, 2008 at 1:43 am
The fact that’s it’s a flashback could be made a little more obvious. I mean, besides Anders hair being longer and the sepia tone, and the sudden location switch. Because going by that, it could very well be a flash forward.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:50 am
AJ, they also mention the school that Anders goes to, which is a famous boarding school known for housing royalty. But it will be made more clear tomorrow I suppose. Can’t have it all down in black and white can I? Where would the fun be in that.
April 29th, 2008 at 4:35 am
Anders does look a lot younger - he has a that “Hey Guys” with such naivetés in his face in panel one. The sepia tone does make it clear. I got the flashback instance before I got the Soggy Biscuit reference.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:01 am
can’t think of anything more repulsive to be forced to eat
April 29th, 2008 at 5:11 am
This reminds me of something my grandpa used to say if he caught you not working. He would accuse you of “playing switcho”, which was sucking your thumb with the other thumb somewhere unmentionable, then switching thumbs. It’s a similar kind of game, that nobody actually plays but somehow tons of stories get told about it.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:16 am
heh.
my guy friends joke about a game like that. only here they call it ‘ukky cookie’
April 29th, 2008 at 7:12 am
I hope this does not inspire youtube videos.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:21 am
How did he manage to jerk off not noticing none of the others did even move from the couch? He must be the fastest man alive or something. . .
April 29th, 2008 at 10:09 am
It was a flashback? Whew. For a minute I was thinking, “Damn. I knew he was a wuss, but he’s really a wuss.”
April 29th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Amake: Yeah, you are probably right. I should have music notes or something here.
April 29th, 2008 at 11:57 am
I like the soft colours, but poor Anders!
April 29th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I have a new Swedish word to use!
Runkbulle!
Runkbulle!
RUNKBULLE!!!
I’m gonna get a T-shirt that says that.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
…med vad menar ‘runka på huvudet’ då?…
April 29th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I would have to strongly advise against a “runkbulle” t-shirt. Although it really could just be mistaken for a kanelbulle with glasyr.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Runka used to just mean to shake your head. So to “runka på huvudet” just meant to shake your head.
April 29th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
What a mean trick. No wonder Anders hangs out with girls!
April 29th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Rene: I know what it means, I found it on Lexin - but with the alternate (rude) definition of runka, it takes on a whole new meaning… and I don’t want a Tshirt with a picture of a runkbulle, I want a Tshirt that says “Runkbulle” on it. Just because.
April 29th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Rene, please keep up the great work! I love reading your comic and I love the style you draw it in!
April 29th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Leigh; You have my word.Unless I die or there’s a surprise Pixies concert in the park.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
the jokes kinda on those guys, Anders does one of their girlfriends at their private kurt kobane vigil, so buuuuurn!
April 29th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
p.s. i loved the video. what a great way to start the week! (:
April 29th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Ha ha ha!!! I just love this web-comic, it is great and always finds new great twists along the way. Keep up the good work and keep going. Both story and style is A+.

My friend told me about your comic strip and linked it to me last night! I love it!! Your style is fun and wonderful, and the storyline is pretty hilarious! I can’t wait for the next update!
April 29th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Hahaha, I remember the concept of the game “Limp Biscuit” being explained to me in great depth when I was about 14 years old by a friend of mine. It seemed stupid and pointless back then, and even stupider after reading this strip. Silly Anders.
Good work as always, Rene. Loving the yellow here for some reason!
April 29th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Anders is just a spunky eco-terrorist… I can almost taste his shame in the last panel.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Rene:
I would gladly leave my COUNTRY for a surprise Pixies concert in yours.
:D
April 30th, 2008 at 6:19 am
Truly, I did giggle. That’s terrible.
TERRIBLY HILARIOUS, OH HO HO.
Ahaha, I was completely unaware of this game untill now. Course, I’m also a girl and have been for as long as I can remember.
April 30th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
This is what happens when people misunderstand the phrase “mastur race,” which has already had such a tragic history.

April 30th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Whoah. Greg Stolze. Reign is one of my favourite games.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
I take a bit credit for this one, haha. I actually went here to check if you made something of it, because of the way your pen went over that notepad…
Anyway, very pleased to meet you - I’ll be around here, reading a while.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
All cred for you Stefan!
I had very good times in Stockholm with you. Cheers!
