“Still not over the American woman who was super surprised to see so many men walking around with strollers and generally looking after their children alone during her travels through the Nordic countries.”

    SATW always portrays Finland with a knife, so it’s more of an inside joke and not related to this specific comic strip.

        All scandinavians has those (fjällkniv, morakniv,…) but the finnish are portrayed, in Scandinavia, as the most isolated/laconic people,the most “manly” ones, hence the knife. Swedes were portrayed as the gayest in the nineties at least (very “woke”), and so on. It’s just cultural stereotypes.

          Also because the way their version of the “Scandinavian language” is very flamboyant
