Hälge, by Lars Mortimer (1946-2014).
A dump of random daily strips translated by me.

Rural Sweden compares very well in terms of size and population to Montana. The idea for the comic came to Lars in 1990 when he sat in the back seat of a Volvo 245 driving through the woods. He had a vision of an elk, a dog and a hunter.

Some linguistic nuances are lost as swedes love to speak indirectly about themselves or anything. Certain grammatical particles are also lost, having no english equivalents I know of or could be bothered to research. I decided to de-shout the dialog, cutting off most exclamation marks, this brings it closer to how swedes actually talk. Typesetting is minimal as I am lazy. Font: Comic Neue.

I mostly slept through english class.
