[chinangel]

the strip was funny until the end and then I just kind of scratched my head, largely because..I didn't get the punchline. Even as a Canadian knowing what he was generally goin for really didn't make it funny. :S

Made me laugh and I'm Welsh born and bred living in one of the most welsh-speaking areas of the country (>50% fluency). For those who persist in thinking that Welsh is a Northern thing try visiting places like Colwyn Bay or Rhyl, they may be in North Wales but many of the locals sound English. Welsh is an East/West thing, not North/South, the counties with the highest proportion of Welsh speakers are Gwynedd and Môn in the North West and Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire in the South West.

And for those who wonder what we've done take a look at the World Heritage Site at Blaenafon, one of the birthplaces of the industrial revolution; look at the Royal Navy, started by Henry VIII (take a look at the Tudor's royal crest, none of the modern namby-pamby lions and unicorns, he had a dragon as a supporter, the Tudors/Tudurs were Welsh).

Oh yeah, and whilst I don't think we need to put our flag on the Union one (ours is better as it is and actually means something to most of us) I've done a possible Union Flag/Draig Goch/Baner Dewi Sant crossover as my avatar.

I'll start out by saying that this comic made me laugh harder than any online comic has ever made me laugh before, but that's probably not a surprise since being American automatically makes Canada jokes funny to me.

I must say that I'm surprised at the number of offended Canadians that have replied here. Now I've never actually met any Canadian (besides Scott Ramsoomair at ConnectiCon) but I automatically assumed that all Canadians knew that neither America nor the rest of the world actually hates or even dislikes Canada. In reality Canada is like Ned Flanders, too perfect if you will, and we're kinda jealous of that so we pick on you with stuff like "blame Canada" once in a while. Being only one person I really don't have the authority to speak on behalf of all Americans, however I'm pretty sure that's what the general consensus is.

As for the Whales/England relationship, I can't say anything because I have no knowledge on the subject...or at leased I didn't before this thread, but I must say that I've learned quite a lot about UK relationships after reading all these replies.

And although I knew next to nothing about Whales before, I'll forever think of them as "England's Canada" after this comic.
