    I so want to know what is in that letter!!!

    What makes me chuckle the most is thinking of you drawing this on a train, people walking by, being startled. (I am American, we are a prudish people.)

    I want to know too!
    Though I’m also a bit lost about when this is happening, I’m starting to lose the plot slightly. It’s not “now” I assume because Bjorn is at the hospital with Maria.. I’m sure it’ll all be revealed soon. :D

    Also, what is he eating there?

    Ok so maybe I just have a good memory, or am an Anders loves Maria tragic!!
    This is from when Maria was applying to Konstfack art college, and living with Bjorn. The snack is some strange Swedish thing he and Maria ate for breakfast, I think Rene explained it back then. You can tell it’s from the past because Bjorn has a luxuriant full head of hair!!

    It looks like he is eating crisp bread with Kalle’s Kaviar =P

    I’m half swedish, and hate the stuff, but my mother and father love it to death.

    “You can tell it’s from the past because Bjorn has a luxuriant full head of hair”

    and because he’s managed to wax most of his pubes.

    I love how you draw his legs Rene! =) this comic has me super hooked.

    @ John K and GBeans

    the letter is Maria’s admission into Konstfack.
    Maria probably doesn’t know she even applied properly because it was Björn who dropped off the Vagina-Mario

    @Jay: The snack looks like “knäckebröd”/crisp bread with a caviar/roe-based spread (“kaviar”) that comes in a tube. It’s slightly salty and goes well with boiled eggs, too

    The snack is – if I’m not mistaken – Kalles Kaviar on a crisp bread.
    Swedes are notorious self-tortureres, and one common way of achieving it is by eating things that smell bad and/or taste terrible. Kalles fits into the latter category.

    I spent like a week in Germany several years ago and managed to fall in love with European breakfast foods… :333

    Random, yes. But just seeing a drawing of Bjorn eating it made me start drooling

    OM NOM NOM

    i hope vietnam has some awesomesauce food…

    (@ John K: you’ve never drawn naughty pictures in public places? You’re missing out, my friend!! The prudes are quite easy to handle, really…)

    YAY for Kalles Kaviar! I fell in love with that shit when I lived in Sweden…

    @Greensis and Kate – it’s not “slightly salty,” it’s insanely salty, I don’t understand how you guys manage to eat it for breakfast in such large quantities! At most I can spread a little pea-sized amount on my knäckebröd :P but the dagis kids sure do love it

    What I’d like to know is how the newspaper is staying upright on his lap. :-P

    See I thought that crossed leg in the first panel was something a little more… interesting… It’s why everybody loves Bjorn :p

    I know that you’ve all said what Bjorn is eating, and I have no doubt that you are correct, but I still can’t get over thinking “OH! A Pop Tart!” every time I look at that panel… I’m obviously American.

    I’ll probably lose my swedish cred for this, but i absolutely loath the shit. And you get it everywhere, from kindergarten and onwards. Bleh.

    the thing is, it seems like every culture has their awful salty crap they love. for my kind, its vegemite. not marmite, not promite, it has to be vegemite. and then theres the dutchies (my boyfriend for example.) those triple salted droppies are his fav, and they are gross! so i guess in that light, kaviar doesnt sound so bad. although….isnt it made from cod roe or something? thats what wikipedia tells me….
