Pekka Puupää

Pekka Puupää is a Finnish text comic and film character, created by Ola "Fogeli" Fogelberg.

His last name "Puupää" is a common insult denoting low intelligence, literally meaning wood-head and roughly equivalent to the expression "block head".

Conventional plot subjects are Pekka's failed attempts in various professions and housework, his eccentric solutions to problems he faces in the normal life and other mishaps he encounters due to his foolishness and benevolence.

The series was drawn by graphic designer Ola Fogelberg, who signed his comics using the pseudonym Fogeli.

Later Fogeli quit advertising, though, and changed Pekka Puupää into a conventional joke series, at the same time moving the scene from Helsinki to a small rural locality Savikylä.
