And copper oxide also gives a green flame, that may be easier than your methanol/borax solution.

Ooh, yes! We used to have some copper salts that we would throw into the fireplace on occasion to get a really cool blue-green flame (obviously no marshmallow roasting allowed when that was happening!)

This morning I was reading on a local Wisconsin paper's website about an old, fondly remembered, Norwegian tradition called Julebukking which is described as "a rowdier version of Halloween".  I was just wondering if it is still a thing in Norway?
On the decline, it seems, except for one very popular spin-off in Sweden.

Oh, so that's what those goats are. I've seen them at a weird hippie/old people/flower shop/cat place where I help.
I think the lady who runs the store just has them labeled as "Christmas Sweden Goats"

FWIW, I'm totally in favor of being wary of purported forgeign countries' Christmas traditions. :P The Gävle Goat's genuinely a hot thing in Sweden, though.

This most certainly goes off on a tangent, but somebody has to have made some sort of crossover work between SSSS and SATW.
If not, somebody needs to. Not me though, I'm a s*** artist.
Spoiler: show
On another tangent, I'm surprised that the artist used Kathleen Ni Houlihan for the personification of Ireland. I figured most comic artists would use the more politically neutral Ériu/Érin

There's an Art Ideas Repository over on the SSSS board. You could post it there and see if someone takes it up.

Thanks.
I wish we had a like button, so I could show my gratitude without clogging up the thread (though I don't mind adding to my post count).

Anyway, have this... thing. I understand you'r partial to Sigrun.

This is the first time I've used the reaction image hoard

I know that this is a complete jerk thing to do, but I can't help but point out that he left out an "an" in the description for the dickpic card.
I have no regrets.
You pointed out a missing article but missed the word "undesidered"?  But - it's all good, I got a good laugh from this anyway!  I loved the imagery.

Yeah could we not burn it down immediately after raising it, that would be great!
Last year it didn't even survive the first night!

I did a couple of bad sketches for "Scandinavia and the Silent World" way back when.  Always meant to do more.
