Itse valtiaat

A Finnish-language comic series launched by Arktinen Banaani in 2002, Itse valtiaat is a satirical political series that lampoons domestic and international figures through exaggerated caricature and absurdist humor. Spanning just three issues, the series is most associated with its creators' sharp, irreverent take on power and media, offering a brief but pointed commentary on early-2000s Finnish society. Its significance lies in its bold, localized parody within a small-press context, capturing a specific moment in Finnish comic satire.
