The sitting rat gnawing a coin above is the "proto-Rontti"

Rontti was the comics character published first in the Finnish "Sarjis"-comics magazine. The publisher was Williams (72-74). Veikko Savolainen, the editor-in-chief, asked me to brush up the proto-Rontti a bit more friendly shape. Which I did.

Those days comics were not so popular in Finland and Sarjis pointed out a non profit investment. After Sarjis, Rontti got a new publisher and home in "Nykypäivä" a political weekly paper by the editor-in-chief Kimmon Kajaste and continued there for several years.
These strips seen here are part of the published material, giving some interview to the life of Rontti.

Strips have been translated into English (under the pictures). If you want to suggest better translations, please send them to me by e-mail below. I'll publish the best ones equipped with your name.
