Hot Troll/Cow Action in Big One Magazine
Bamse magazine is one of Sweden's most beloved childrens' publications, with a readership mainly about age 10. Its title character's name does mean "The Big One". But still, I must say that I was as surprised as Bamse himself...

Bamse magazine is one of Sweden's most beloved childrens' publications, with a readership mainly about age 10. Its title character's name does mean "The Big One". But still, I must say that I was as surprised as Bamse himself and the squirrel when I saw what that troll is doing with such glee to the cow on the cover. Also, I wonder if those are silicone udders.

That is not a creek, that is a deep ravine! We have no pirhana-infested waters, so we have to stick to "dry" mayhem.
(Other mayhem) We have found the origin of the "Barbarians with skulls impaled on spikes" cliché:

Comment 1: at 6000 BC, it means Swedes were first with ths "badass barbarian" practice. Comment 2: The people at Lake Mälaren have stayed badass ever since.
