Nothing much, just the Finnish names of Rasmus Nalle (Rasmus Klump) albums

Funnily, when I chucked them all into Google Translate it flipped after a while:
Rasmus Nalle and his little brother
Rasmus Winnie the Pooh in the Troll Forest…

This fundamentally weird comic seems mostly forgotten now.

I have this album called ”Riki vivre ensemble” by Ilan Manouach (2008), where every character except the pelican (Riki) has been carefully removed and the colors washed out and yellow-tinted.
He got permission for it!

It nicely exaggerates the oddness of the comic. Like there’s nothing in it, except the minimal number of props needed in the plot. If a comic could be low-poly.

@jhilden I happened to catch a comics festival in Crete this past summer and several of his conceptual books were on show. So good!
@db I had forgotten about the book until my daughter found that old Rasmus Klump album! Cool stuff. I like these now-quaint AI cartoons :D
