Sauna Time

Well, Finland is a mute! He couldn’t tell them what they were supposed to do, so he had to show them!

I just knew people were wondering what Finland’s hair looks like, and seeing as I never intended it to be a mystery, here it is.

And don’t worry. I won’t stop drawing these comics for a loooooong time. You just won’t get a new one every single day.

I've heard about the Russian saunas, where you relax in a boiling hot room with hot stones everywhere that opens your pores to the size of dinner plates. Then you go outside, and jump into a hole in the snow(the water hovers at about 35 degrees). Your pores slam shut like a freight train. You are supposed to feel phenomenal for days after that.

I wanna do it.

Also, love Finland's (lack of) emotion here. That last panel makes me laugh every time

@WhileBeingAway That would be a public swimming pool... nothing more... or depending on where you are... the College Indoor pool and sauna, the Tooele Prat Aquatic Center, the Deseret Peak Swimming Complex...

In American we have many, many, many different words for many, many, many things!

Mmm... sweating like an animal, getting the good ol' circulation going by whipping self with leafy branch bunch... rolling around in the snow XD

Even without the latter two, it's still Sauna <3 <3 But only if wood-heated, none of this block of flats electronic stuff. That's just... wrong.

It's a big fun in Russian banyas. It's pretty the same.
