This guy was sucked into teletext when he was looking for hockey results in 1993. Now he is trying to communicate with his children, who are grown up by now. By Joonas Rinta-Kanto, as part of his fok_it comic.

This appeared on Finnish teletext yesterday. If you’re TV is not cool enough for YLE, you can watch the pages online here. Press the alasivu buttons to change subpages.
