KUTIKUTI is a comic art studio & association located
in Kallio, Helsinki, Finland. Our twelve
people collective makes, publishes and teaches comics. Along our
solo releases our main publications include free quarterly comic
tabloid Kuti and annual international anthology Glömp. We
aim to do it all by ourselves, dig it hand-made. Freedom is worth
reaching. It's pretty much a war against all the plain dead stupidity
that surrounds us. Dig what we do or not, most likely we'll keep
doing this stuff until the end.
