A few months ago I wanted to create a comic that challenges the traditional norms of a (web) comic by introducing absurd and abstract structure. I don't wish anyone to comment "I don't get it", because sometimes "getting it" means not getting it.
Do not expect the traditional build-up, build-up, punchline-composition from all comics. Several are very open to interpretation.
I came up with "Runkkula", a portmanteau of the words "Runkku" which means wanker/masturbation and "-la", which is the suffix for a place or a setting.
Here are the original comics for Finnish readers.

Here are all of them, translated. I apologize for the shoddy fonts in the first 19. I drew them by hand and don't have really the resources to retouch them perfectly. The 20th and the first colored strip is where I began digitalizing everything so the quality is better in every way in every strip after that.


then dad left


and he won


customer is always right


typical bunny antics


....


the road is also rocky and very long


and you know we could like tax it and profit the state


jerry is a single dad


employee of the year


a two-day ticket is 60 euros
I left this one untranslated on purpose.. I didn't feel like doing the job needed for it.
The small note says "queue here" and the huge billboard upon the doors says "COCK LAND"



i think this is one of those dad's games


and besides i think this is softer concrete than usually


(it actually was right there and he was serious)


i was born in Tampere but when me and my parents moved to Runkkula when i was 4 or 5. it was 4 i think. can't remember


but yeah i guess i manage


not againnnn


midsummer is the season for loving


so deep


20€ fine


thank you for your wisdom o guru


and now it's fucktime


nA.´éE K RR? R?op &


where is present

A handful of those are humorous. Good work.

These are really pretty enjoyable to read, and I like the simplistic style. Very nice.

I rather like the ballpoint pencil shading in those that have it. Apart from that, I'm not sure that "absurd and abstract structure" constitutes challenging the traditional norms of a web comic... in fact, a structure that is sensible and concrete might be much more scandalous and unusual.
