Comment: This is madness! But totally true. The finnish language does have all these forms (for each and every noun!) but actually not all of these are always used. The reason why there are so many forms is because the finnish language has so many suffixes. Everything can be added to a word.
The finnish language does not have so many prepositions as german languages do. So a suffix is used instead.
"Dog" is just "koira". If you want to say "at the dog", you say "koiralla", "in the dog" means "koirassa"and "as a dog" "koirana".
Then there's also possessive suffixes. "My dog" is "(minun) koirani". However, if you want to say "in my dog", you have to add the preposition-suffix and the possessive suffix, so it becomes "koirassani". And so on.
Once you get the system it actually is not so difficult anymore, but indeed it looks awesome to look on all these forms in the comic. And these are just all the singular forms available. Awesome!

Comment: According to a finnish friend, this is not said very often in Finland. And more humorous, too. She mentioned a few similar things like this though.
(And besides, she's the one who likes to swim in blood...)
