B. Virtanen

B. Virtanen is a Finnish comic strip written by Ilkka Heilä.

[1] The strip is about the family and work life of a typical Finnish man named B. Virtanen.

He is married and has a steady job but both cause him constant trouble as he is hen-pecked by his wife at home and oppressed by his superiors at work.

In one strip his name is revealed to his co-workers (but censored to the reader) and the crowd bursts out laughing.

If there are negative choices the superiors will intimidate Virtanen not to give any "wrong" answers.

Lennart Nilkén (left) says in Finnish : "What would that cost?" and B. Virtanen answers: "Evidently 3270 Finnish marks ."
