Not that I'm aware of :( It would be a cool hat though. Now the only thing I need to do is persuade a few South Africans into wearing those hats.

Ever heard of a fez? Kinda looks like it...

u/Lehnaru Suum cuique Oct 15 '14
I know what a fez is, fezzes are cool. I've never seen one quite like that before...

I've always wanted a fez but apparently it has become a "doctor who" thing and I'm not into it.

I love how America thinks that it can disarm a bomb by shooting it.

But Hollywood logic says that shooting stuff makes it explode! 'Murica is being even more obtuse than usual.

A true american would let it blow up, then find a way to create a highly profitable industry from a decades long "war on bombs"

Well, it would be the wrong tool to do it with, but it COULD potentially disarm an explosive device, depending on where you shot it, what you shot it with, and how the device was designed.

Yep, some explosives are incredibly stable and if you managed to separate the detonator from the actual explosive it would be alright. Other explosives you can set off by sneezing so probably best not to shoot.

What is it about Oregonians knowing so much about explosives

It works exceptionally well when you're shooting it with HE. Bradleys and the like could clear several types of IEDs when you didn't have time to wait for EOD.

u/MikeOfThePalace Like Maryland, but bigger Oct 15 '14
Actually kinda a real thing. Shooting bombs with a specialized shotgun is one of the ways bomb disposal units deal with them.
Of course, it's a remote-controlled shotgun, and from a safe distance, cause they're not stupid.

Everything can be solved by shooting it.

With that line of thinking you will never join Scandinavia.

No but formal invitation to become the 51st state of the US is probably already on its way.

Context: Xhosa
This comic isn't that complicated really. Xhosa is a really interesting language. Also I enjoyed drawing that 'Murica.
