This will be about how crazy brains are

So when I was sixteen I read a comic named Assar. Characters in the comic included talking sausages, a king whose hobby was to clean manure spreader, politicians who solved unemployment by letting the unemployed move to the forest and become trolls, and a superhero named Bimbo fighting a supervillain named Rassor. The normal stuff. (If you thought Bimbo sounded like a female superhero, I’m sorry to say that Bimbo was male.) The comic was back then popular enough that someone in Stockholm opened a cafe themed after the comic and at least in one election more than one voter voted for Rassor.

Here’s the thing. I have not read the comic in a long time. I never visit the Assar themed cafe and I assume that cafe is long gone. But the other night I dreamed I visit the Assar cafe. How crazy is our brains. Some random thing from my teens just shows up like that, in a dream.

About someone voting for character from some comic. This country has a tradition of votes for the Donald Duck party, showing up every election. If you going to protest vote, you can at least vote for Donald Duck. My guess is that the Rassor votes was inspired by the Donald Duck votes.
