The comic artist published a fierce picture of lions

Icelandic comic artist Hugleikur Dagsson expresses support for Finland's ice hockey success through a controversial artwork.

Hugleikur Dagsson, an Icelandic comic artist with a cult following, has recently drawn attention with a provocative illustration featuring a Finnish hockey player. The artwork, which Dagsson shared on social media, depicts the player holding a hockey stick stained with blood, alongside the gruesome image of a rival player's decapitated head in a pool of blood. Above this intense scene is a pun that plays on the words "Finnish him," cleverly twisting the phrase "finish him"โ€”often used in the context of defeating an opponent, particularly popularized by the Mortal Kombat video game series. This dark humor resonates with the competitive spirit often seen in sports, particularly in ice hockey.
