Pahkasika
''Pahkasika'' (Finnish language, Finnish for "warthog") was a Finland, Finnish adult humour magazine, edited by Markku Paretskoi and published from 1975 to 2000. Unlike the United Kingdom, British adult humour comic ''Viz (comic), Viz'' and the Nordic countries, Nordic adult humour magazine ''Pyton''/''Myrkky'', ''Pahkasika'' did not include much pornography despite sometimes very ribald jokes. Instead it focused more on such things as alcoholism, family crises, xenophobia and other negative aspects of adult life, all presented in a humorous way that appeared deceptively child-friendly. Some of the jokes in the magazine were almost indistinguishable from articles in a mainstream magazine. Recurring strips in ''Pahkasika'' included: * ''Miihkali'', a kindergarten-aged boy whose parents are nearly always having a crisis, either with him or with each other, but usually Miihkali doesn't understand what is going on at all. * ''Pahkeinen'', an old man with a nihilism, nihilistic attitud ...

People From Oulu
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
