Viivi & Wagner
Viivi & Wagner is a comic by the Finnish draftsman Jussi "Juba" Tuomola.
Viivi, a young Finn in her mid-twenties, lives with the pig Wagner. Although completely anthropomorphized , Wagner sees himself as a pig. The two love each other - when they are not arguing.
The comic first appeared in the youth magazine "Kultapossu" (Gold Pig) of the Finnish Sampo Bank . In this original version, Viivi was still a child and Wagner was her living piggy bank. After "Kultapossu" ended, Juba changed the format and from then on drew the comic as a strip for daily newspapers. In this context, Viivi and Wagner also became adults.
Viivi and Wagner are very popular in Finland , not least because of their quirky humor. Viivi and Wagner argue about world views, argue or Wagner, as a pig, gets into absurd situations for him that would be common for a person.
The comic could be understood in a feminist way ("Men are pigs"), which is not tenable given the previous history.
A German translation does not exist in 2009.
