I bet there is NO ONE who reads this comic and actually knows where “Navigare Autem” comes from. Mwa hah haa …
Actually, it is from a poem by the Finnish poet Pentti Saarikoski, who used to be a sailor in his youth. Quite many of his early works are based on his experiences as a sailor. The full poem in Finnish:
| NAVIGARE AUTEM
Olen lähtevä vesi suustani virtaa Se mies josta tarina kertoo Mitta minä tarvitsen purren |
(My crappy English translation:
I am leaving the water flows out of my mouth The man this story tells of But I need a boat |
