Finnish graphic artist Jaakko Seppälä created this masterpiece about a decade ago, simulating ten famous cartoonists drawing the others’ characters. Starting from the upper left and working down-and-right diagonally, we have:
- Astérix, by Albert Uderzo (France)
- Calvin, by Bill Watterson (USA)
- Donald Duck, by Carl Barks (USA)
- Captain Haddock, by Hergé (Belgique)
- Batman, by Bill Finger & Bob Kane (USA)
- Fingerpori, by Pertti Jarla (Finland)
- Corto Maltese, by Hugo Pratt (Italy)
- Moomin, by Tove Jansson (Sweden-Finland)
- Garfield, by Jim Davis (USA)
- Lucy Van Pelt, by Charles Schulz (USA)

Fingerpori is the name of Jarla’s cartoon but the character is called Heimo Vesa.
Thank you!
And could you add any general information to our Finnish comics knowledge?
