Description

"V�ist�"

"Give space!"

"Cool down"

"Ei "Tippa" tapa"

"A Drop won't kill you"

Renault 4's marketing slogan was: "No grease, no water, just a drop of fuel!"
And so in Finland Renault 4 got the nickname "Drop"

This "A Drop won't kill you" is very famous Finnish song, by Irwin Goodman:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leSS06OhXDI

and its lyrics:
A drop won't kill you
It all began when I got the last paycheck
Then I went to get a full load for the party
And there was no shying away for any reason at all
A bottle was passed around in a circle with disgusted faces

A drop won't kill you, and you won't drown in a bucketful
Since we have already started, let's just continue
A drop won't kill you, and you won't drown in a bucketful
Since we have already started, let's just continue

Life is boring if you don't party now and then
Who can stand being sober all the time
Let it go the same pace for a week in a row
All sorrow is flushed from inside us this way

A drop won't kill you, and you won't drown in a bucketful
Since we have already started, let's just continue
A drop won't kill you, and you won't drown in a bucketful
Since we have already started, let's just continue

We all are here only for a short while
It is absolutely useless to gather up money on Earth
Somebody else will drink it away someday anyway
Let's drink it all now and others shall drink their own

A drop won't kill you, and you won't drown in a bucketful
Since we have already started, let's just continue
A drop won't kill you, and you won't drown in a bucketful
Since we have already started, let's just continue
Let's just continue, let's just continue

This 2838th Fingerpori daily strip from 2016 published in Helsingin Sanomat and later also for example in the book Fingerporin koko kuva 8 "Katin kanssa keitt�ss�" (2020), ISBN 9789511365990.

The car itself has a cartoony style and already looks like it belongs in this universe.
