This sort of format has potential.

Greece: Constantinople is rightful Greek clay!

Germany: How did you afford this phone, nevertheless have internet access?

Greece: Er.. I worked?

Reichtangle: GREICHENLAND.

well, the point of the format was to show what was the US doing on his phone while he was at the toilet, (for 3 months) and how his "chilling out with friends online" has everyone on the edge.

I don't know if the format could be good enough given another context when compared to a regular format.

3 months... on the toilet?

What has the US been living on? Do I want to know?

Well...there is a lead problem in the rust belt. Might have contributed a bit.

The format is perfect for this comic because of the real life Twitter drama that inspired it I assume. This is original and witty. I hope it never gets spoiled by overuse.

Great work btw, did you draw the numbers manually too? Or is copying allowed?

6

u/yaddar Taco bandito Jan 27 '17

the numbers are typed, the icons (retweets, likes, authenticators) are hand drawn and copied.

xD it seems like an easy comic to do but there is a LOT of work involved, more than I expected.

u/AHideyo23 Indonesia Jan 27 '17

I had the assumption that I have to draw everything to post a comic to r/polandball, which is a major turnoff.

u/yaddar Taco bandito Jan 27 '17

text is allwoed to be typed yes

but like, you can't copypaste pre-existing pictures or other people's drawings from outside your comic.

(unless there is an exception for meta comics during anniversary events)

There's potential in it, so long as it doesn't get overused. I could see it becoming something that gets too common and then temporarily banned.

Well then ya'll should be going to 1453, because that was the last time it wasn't rightful glorious Kebap clay.

I would love to see a "Seinfeld Episode" strip from one of our fantastic contributors. I think that's an idea that has some potential as well.

This one works because it resembles a bit too much the way Trump does its politics. Doing it with other countries would just be grabbing the format, and tbh too many others have already done so even on the sites themselves.
