Funding To Comics For Cultural Export This article in the international edition of Helsingin Sanomat notes that visual culture will receive more federal ministry money than any other artistic expression, surpassing music for the first time, with comic placing in the top five. This is interesting to note because 1) the ascendancy of comics as a legitimate item of cultural investment, 2) a lot of Finnish comics are awesome and 3) I rarely hear anything about the state support of various comics efforts.
