Wow! I’ve been away for a while! A lot of things have been going on around here. A lot of them will pop up in the strips, so all will be revealed in time.
BUT… this one deserves a little explaining. For those of you not in the know, my name is Scott. I also have lived in Finland for a majority of my life and “Scott” isn’t a Finnish name so I’ve had numerous nicknames.
Meatball isn’t one of them.
The second language of Finland is Swedish. We live in a Swedish speaking area and my wife actually lived in Sweden as a kid so the language is bound to pop up now and then around here.
“Scott” isn’t that far from”Kött” (meat in Swedish) and that’s just a hop skip and a jump from “Köttbulle” which is… yes, Meatball. 
We all have nicknames. Some we like, some we hate and some that have a sentimental value. But hey, it beats “Hey… you!”
Aaaaanyways… It’s great to be back at the strip and I look forward to sharing my recent adventures. All kinds of crazy stuff has been going on so stay tuned!
-Köttbulle-


Haha that’s funny. When I was younger my brother and one of my sisters gave each other nicknames based off of breakfast foods. My brother was Pancake, my sister was strudel, and I was pop tart.
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
And here are our children… Pancake, Strudel and PopTart.
It’s cute but I don’t Scott sounds anything like kött
It does in Finland.
The progression is something like: Scott=Kott=Kött
Speaking of nicknames, I had a discussion about nicknames with my dad, and he said that I would likely be called as ”Rick”. Then he said ”Sup Rick!” shortly after. Sounds so nice, doesn’t it?
My brother, sister, and I somehow decided that we would give each other nicknames based on breakfast foods. My brother was Pancake, my sister was Strudel, and I was Pop Tart. We don’t use them any more though

Ah, let me guess, “meatball” is also slang for .. a mans private jewels ?
Ewww! That’s just…Ewwww!!
Haha! That is actually really really funny
I had no clue you live in Finland.
So from a Finnish reader, thanks for a very entertaining comic!
Well, from”Meatball” to “CookieGoddess”… welcome aboard.
