#158 - Let Me Down
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008I am pretty ill at the moment so forgive me that this is late and looking subpar.
Also, sorry my post is so short and boring. I have some fun stuff to say, just not now.

Oy? Oy is not a good sound.

Maria looks simply cute, when she’s trying to keep her head in one piece
And Johan’s eyebrows made me laugh.
Take care, Rene! Fight with your illness, waiting for the fun stuff to come :3

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN DA HOSE?

damn you keyboard, you win again!!!!

whoops! do i sense a pregnancy scare?
May 28th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Eh? Did she faint from the sudden change in altitude? I didn’t think Björn was quite *that* tall.
Feel better! I’ll look forward to the fun stuff at a later time.
May 28th, 2008 at 1:20 am
I hope you get better soon! There’s a nasty cold going around in GA right now too =(
May 28th, 2008 at 1:42 am
Bjorn makes everything worse! What a jerk!
May 28th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Oh, Maria’s cute! But yeah, that “oy” sounds quite ominous…
Feel better, Rene! (:

Do I see an abortion in the future? Eh?
May 28th, 2008 at 3:11 am
I got the impression that this was a flashback to when Maria was in highschool, aka not pregnant yet and no Anders in the picture. So she wouldn’t be pregnant at this point. I could be wrong though…
May 28th, 2008 at 3:21 am
true, you CAN only get pregnant by one person.
May 28th, 2008 at 3:51 am
i believe she exploded.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:04 am
i love johan he rocks out loud
May 28th, 2008 at 4:47 am
nice one, alex f. nice one.

What’s the translation of the road sign in panel one? It starts with fart, and that makes me giggle.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:30 am
Farthinder means “speed bump”. It’s the second most amusing Swedish road sign for English readers. “Infart” (car entrance) makes my fiancee giggle like an 8-year-old…
May 28th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Yeah, I’m having a little trouble following what exactly is going on?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Thanks, Alex.
I’m thinking that if she’s pregnant and gets an abortion, this is what Bjorn was referring to when he talked about their “second chance.” It’s pretty clear that this is when Maria was in her last year of high school.

Why is everyone assuming she’s pregnant? Is it common for pregnant women get incapacitating headaches?
Maybe she just has a headache from crying too much?
May 28th, 2008 at 7:55 am
The road sign says “farthinder” meaning “speed bump”. Those signs are known to amuse anglophones.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:11 am
well, pregnancy can cause sudden collapsing - especially if its eptopic and the tube bursts.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Johan facial expressions for the win
May 28th, 2008 at 8:28 am
You’d think that Maria’s hair going from black and short to brown and long (not to mention Bjorn’s spontaneous hair regrowth) would be enough to alert people to the fact that this is not the present timeline…. It’s a flashback! A flashback!
Anyway. Love the comic! Love your art! And no matter how many people say he’s a jerk, I love good old blunt honest Bjorn the most.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:52 am
JOHAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!
His face is just like “OH NOES D: “
May 28th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Great comic! Get well soon Rene!
May 28th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Another Swedish word to learn is “slut” which menas “end”.
So if you see words like “slutbonus” or “slutstation” it’s really not as naughty as you may think
May 28th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Or my personal favourite, “slutspurt”.
May 28th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Man! Farthinder! About the funniest word I know in Swedish, and I know quite a few… When I was travelling in Sweden almost two years ago that work would just crack me up. Farthinder and utfart! Happy memories… Honestly. I have to go to Sweden again really soon… Especially Stockholm!!! *pink heart*
Btw, your comic is freakin’ awesome. Although I am not Swedish, I’ve known some Swedes in my life and I know quite a lot about Swedish culture and language and my knowledge adds to my general great enjoyment from this piece of work. Keep up the underbart jobb!
May 28th, 2008 at 11:56 am
*work=word
May 28th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Yeah, when my American relatives were in Sweden for a family reunion, they got a kick out of farthinder. I had never even thought about it before they pointed it out.
May 28th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
It’s not the fart that kills you, it’s the smell.
Wait… I mean: Det är inte farten som döder dig, det är smällen.
May 28th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Den Mördande Farten
(nevermind grammar)
May 28th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Poor Maria. Her life has been a complete Hell from day one, huh?
May 28th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
lmao @ Alex F
