Jarpr and Gulr see a sign and think there might be an interest in their Scandinavian culture in town outside their village, but unfortunately it looks like there's a bizarre American cultic ritual that uses images of stereotypes and animals all in the name of guys in tight pants chasing a strangely shaped ball whose most ardent watchers don't play the sport themselves.
This was actually the 3rd Scandi-Merica comic I drew and inked, but the timing of things and printer issues had the Leif Erikson Day strip take priority and that ended up being #3 and after finishing that strip I did the coloring for this strip. I feel like that helped how this strip turned out, as with the Leif strip I really felt an expansion in my color usage and I was more satisfied with this comic after coloring it in. I especially like how the orange and lavender looks and contrasts with the darker hues. Also, somehow it feels appropriate for Thanksgiving time, to quote AVGN's Atari Sports episode "...football on Thanksgiving?!?!?!?!?!..."
All art, writing, penciling, inking, and coloring created by me.
