Dukes

I recently learned this great expression "put your dukes up" which means: raise your fists, prepare to fight (yes, has come in handy on a daily basis). Then - not long afterwards - I learned that John Wayne was called the Duke.

Knob

Why are the Americans so obsessed with having knobs on their doors while handles are far more functional? How, for example, are you supposed to open a door when you have just put lotion on your hands and you don't want to get the knob all greasy?

This is not the first time I've clashed with American doors.

Coffee

In coffee shops the orange thermos is always for decaffeinated coffee. In Finland you can look for decaf in the same stores where they sell nonalcoholic vodka.

Victory!

I would like to proudly announce that my cartoon was selected among the winners in the before mentioned competition. Hooray! I can't wait to get my hands on the precious coffee cups I won!

More Thanksgiving

I've still been preoccupied with the cartoon competition.

The upcoming election sure is a big talk around here.

Cartoon Cornucopia

I'm taking part in New York public Radio's Thanksgiving Day cartoon competition .


Idea developed with Heta. Thank you very many!

For those of you not so familiar with Thanksgiving Day in New York: Macy's parade
