[1] Punaniska was set in the Wild West, much like Belgian comic Lucky Luke, but even less serious.
While Lucky Luke revisited factual events in Wild West history, Punaniska mostly had completely fictional stories, most of which were absurdly humorous.
A great deal of its humour depended on Finnish puns that were difficult, if not impossible, to translate into foreign languages.
It quickly rose in popularity and spawned fifteen comic book albums, which featured Punaniska comics drawn also by other Finnish artists (and some others, too, like Hunt Emerson[1] from Birmingham, England), and articles about the American Wild West.
In 2003 it started again, now in a small Finnish golf magazine called "Gaddie-magazine".
