Welcome all newcomers! Chris P. Bacon, Redheaded Beijinger, Adam, Doldrum, Coffee and MR_PLINKETT!

I'm not sure if I've been away from this thread for too long, or if we've just had a sudden surge in membership :)

Hello everyone!

I'm a soon-to-be 21-year-old American college student studying astronomy and history.  I use she/her pronouns.  My parents are both immigrants, my father from Finland and my mother from the Netherlands, so all my family is in Europe and I've visited both countries many times.  Unfortunately, I don't really speak either Dutch or Finnish, but I can understand conversational Dutch and I'm trying to learn some more on Duolingo.  Finnish, on the other hand, is an enigma.  I can count to five and say "Good night" and "Thanks", but that's about it.

Anyway, a friend of mine recommended SSSS to me at dinner a week or two ago, and I am now caught up!  It's astounding, easily the best webcomic I've ever read...I can't get over how incredible the art is!  I'm a self-taught artist myself, but I'm kind of at that level where I'm better at drawing than your average person but have just enough awareness about art to know that I'm not good.  Minna's backgrounds make me want to cry! 

I'm super excited to have found this Nordic webcomic community that I didn't know existed.  Looking forward to being in the fandom with you guys!

Finndutchican, hello and welcome to our complex and interesting community. Art and languages - I think you'll like it here! Did you notice that we have a Languages thread in the Forum, as well as the usual threads for art, fanfic and endless speculation? Have fun!

I got into astronomy when I watched Star Trek as a kid, and here I am xD  You should find out if there are any planetariums or observatories near you that have open telescope nights!  The one at my school does, and I often help out, and watching people see Saturn through a telescope for the first time is a magical and humbling experience.

It's funny, every time I look at my profile pic I hear the words in a British accent...makes you realize how often Brits play Romans in movies (often due to parallels between the two empires)

I am so jealous that you have an observatory at your school? O_O

Heyyy, so I just realized this thread was a thing. Took me a few days...
Anyway. You can call me Kip or Asa or just my username I guess.
Just a German-born German/Polynesian here. Spent most of my life living in the ol US of A (unfortunately). California and most recently now, North Dakota.

Kinda directionless college dropout. Came upon this comic on a whim when looking for something to binge on and I was a little entranced by it (offensive hiccup aside?). I find it kinda inspiring. As an artist it sort of makes me want to try to work on comics again if I can ever find the time...

Oh! I love languages too. Can't really speak anything but English, but I'm really stoked to try to learn/relearn some languages now that I have more free time and idle hands. I'm under the impression this is a community that fosters that?
