I will be sorely disappointed if they don't

[Róisín]

Or the events of Kalevala?

[thegreyarea]

So who wants to take bets that the swan will reference the events of A Redtail's Dream in some way in the next few pages?

Or the events of Kalevala?

I'm with Lallicat. I'd love if both were somehow referenced

Insert "Both is Good" meme.

I’m pretty sure the ”end of summer” and end of Onni’s bargain is just about now in late September. Of course it seems ro make sense it’s around the autumn equinox. But also because the Swan is high up on the sky now here, almost at the very zenith and at least tonight it (she) was the most visible/ recognizable of all constellations. Nice coincidence

[Mirasol]

Let´s hope our heroes still have some time left until the end of summer in their timeline... Still a nice coincidence!

Kitty and Onni adopting each other didn't exactly happen the way I had pictured it in my chapter break filler fic, but yay, it happened in canon at last!

[Jitter]

Cat, I know! They are sooo adorable!

However it means Onni has to join the team as a full member, because Kitty can't just abandon her other proteges!

[Annuil]

Onni petting Kitty is very important! He really needs the comforting animal after being in such a stress :'D
(Cats and dogs (I have a dog) are such great stress-reliefs  )

[wavewright62]

Not only is Onni almost smiling, ish, but there is also an on-panel translation and debriefing happening!  A most important page.

[thorny]

That is some oddly selectively transparent steam.

[Anna]

It’s Conveniently Censoring Steam!

Anybody else starting to feel sorry for the bears?

Mama Bear is trying so hard --

And I've lost track. What do these bears have to do with saving Grandma?

[LooNEY_DAC]

And I've lost track. What do these bears have to do with saving Grandma?

They're the kade's goon squad. To get to the kade (who has Ensi's soul trapped), Onni et al need to get through them first.

Of course, this would be easier if they could talk the bears into "going to score some steroids", if you will.

I'm rereading (to gaze on all the details I missed while I was in gotta-find-out-what-happens-next mode).

On page 156 of the first adventure http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=156, the info page about the Trainsaw, there is a picture taken from what is apparently the last moment of the Hjorten's fatal third trip.  My first impression was GIANT EFFING SPIDER NOPE NOPE NOPE, but spiders aren't mammals so obviously that couldn't be what was in the picture, and after a second look it reminds me of the Giant Claws of Cow Slicing that presumably belong to Surma.

It's a long way from Sweden to Finland, especially if you can't take the ferry.  But it's been at least twelve years (the proposal for Dalahasten was dated in Year 79).
