Try and not get teary after seeing this

Arux am back into Pacific of North. Also if you're an admin/mod you can archive the North Pacific Countryball Club, I'm not doing anything with that anymore.

It's based off another story, I think.

I felt nothing and this was the first time I had seen it.

You're not supposed to actually cry at this... but look at the Reddit Discussion! Everyone else was teary... :(

I've never considered Reddit to be a bastion of intellect or reason, and therefore have zero concern over whether or not people there got emotional over a poorly structured and inaccurate cartoon story.

But, thanks for the offer.

This. Literally this. Upvoted good sir!

EDIT: Thanks for the reddit gold, stranger!
 
Meh, I don't really care how bad a comic looks unless it's actually good. But now that I look at the comic again, it doesn't seem as good anymore.
 
Johanness everyone in here is just too worried about looking like the tough guy ok. It's not a bad comic. In fact it stayed in my mind today as I was in my uni classes on great-power relations.
 
latest

Yeah, this was pretty much my reaction to the comic. The Joyous burning of Christmas Trees.

and yes, I didn't cry at Mufasa dying either... or Bambi's mother...
 
I started tearing up, but then the last image made me laugh, where America's deflating.

Glad you're back, Syr Aru Johanness!
 
I didn't agree with what it said about America being popular & kind. No tears from me either, just a confused look about why anyone would make this.

It's probably based off another story. But some of it's true.

Strong -- Big & Powerful Military
Popular -- Well, USball is popular. He's the most viewed article on the polandball wiki. And every Immigrant wants to go there. Canada is like the place to go if they can't get a Greencard/Citizenship in the US.
Smart -- I don't know. He organized a good battle plan to win independence? One of the Highest Literacy Rates in the world? Ranks at least in the top 20 of best education system?

-Military powerful only because we're pouring money into it like it's 1989 (and the Cold War is still on)
-Popular- not really. We happen to be the nearest stable country for many of those immigrants. Also I fail to see what Polandball wiki view status has anything to do with popularity.
-Smart- he had French support and a few bold commanders.
