The Canadian Front

[T3hSource]

Hey everyone, checked the formatting on the Critical Miss comic, it's set to be full width - are people still having problems viewing it? Does the layout still seem glitched?

Comes out fine to me now.

Also I don't really get the joke, the Canadians would be sorry to the world no matter what they do and is done to them? Is that it, because it's really relevant to the world, outside Canada and the US, despite that demographic being dominant here.

Err... Chrome just told me there's malware on the strip page. Don't know if it's anything for anyone to worry about, but just a heads up.

 

[NearLifeExperience]

I really don't get this one. Is this an inside joke between Americans and Canadians?

 

[Me55enger]

Well it woulda been, coulda been worse than you had ever known.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still had the radio.

Canadian Mosque is absolutely hilarious.

Corey and Grey: I laughed all the wy through. Great commic, you guys keep surpassing yourselves. This is my favorite commic strip!

I recall learning if an event in history similar to this, I don't know the exact details I just remember hearing the words, British, White House and burnt to the ground.

that's 1812 war in a nutshell

Kay... I dont get it... Theres something funny here, I know, but Im not sure what it is...

That they think it would be that easy?

The stereotype is that Canadians are notoriously polite & friendly (so I hear)

 

[LiMaSaRe]

The joke is that Canadians habitually say 'sorry' in all situations even when theres no need to apologize.

Tim Horton's sucks balls.
I know it's a national treasure, but they used to be SO much better.

Remember when every store baked their own products from scratch in house? THAT was something worth going to. Now all the doughnuts are shipped to each store from central warehouses pre-frozen. It made them way, way worse. Tim Horton's chocolate chip muffins used to be the boss sauce, now they're worse than just a pre-made muffin from a grocery store.

Also, their coffee is horrible. Let's just admit that.
I don't know how it used to be as I didn't drink coffee back then.

Good to see that good old Canadian invention still alive and well.

If you'd framed this as a new CoD game with a pun in the title, this strip could have been about video games.

You could argue that it is video games related. My immediate thought on the comic was that it looks very Homefront-esque, except of course that's it America invading instead of being invaded. I could be totally wrong on that point though.

The "Canadian mosque" line made me giggle a bit. I'm form England and even I've heard of Tim Horton's. Although that may be because I go on the internet a lot.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Before the flash frozen donuts, the food was alright but since they expanded everywhere like a giant sneeze I try to avoid it unless there is nothing else (and even then I just go for the caffeine since I really can't call it coffee)

Although I did give a wry smile for the 'Canadian Mosque' part knowing that a good portion of my office walks across the highway daily to pray at one of these

 

[Draconalis]

Canadians have sniper rifles?!

 

[Imp_Emissary]

I've always said; If you're going to kill someone, and you don't hate them, the least you can do is say sorry.

Murder is one thing, but there is no need to get rude too.

Well done on the comic.

 

[PunkRex]

Sorry boot the sniping there buddy!

Remember when you could get something other than peanut butter packages or a single timbit for under a dollar? Tim's is currently committing two sins - bad quality and bad value. Their share price is starting to show the effects of those two major failings.

That said, LOVED the cartoon. Us Canadians are attention whores too, like the pretty girl's uglier sister, we're just happier to get any attention

 

[Almack]

Grey are you trying to set the comment thread ablaze.

 

[King Kazma]

They can take our land, they can take our freedom. But dare touch a sacred Tim Hortons and you'll have 35 million apologetic screaming fanatics who can't get their morning coffee and bagel so they're out for your blood.

 

[Silk_Sk]

I wish we'd stop making Canadian jokes. Canadian Bacon already made all the Canadian jokes (with help from HIMYM). There are no more. Stop it.

 

[Ukomba]

Canada does have the most donut shops per capita than any other country in the world.
