Peräsmies is a Finnish underground comic strip drawn by Timo Kokkila that appeared in the Pahkasika magazine from 1983 to 2000.
Peräsmies, whose real name is Kalervo Peränne, is a middle-aged, severely alcoholic homeless man living in a landfill, whose only superpower is the ability to fart supernaturally hard.
Despite his alcoholism and lack of any semblance of personal hygiene, he has good intentions and often manages to save the world in the end.
One notable Peräsmies strip set the hero against his Soviet counterpart, Toveri Pieru ("Comrade Fart").
The strip ended with a moral lesson: Peräsmies was killed when he was run over by a drunk driver in the last issue of Pahkasika.
