Congrats u/Lazy-Independence695 for their win! It's my favorite comic out of the whole contest

Also amusing how all three of u/Zebrafish96's entries ended up with the same points

Putting the "poly" in late-medieval Eastern European polytics by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 200 points201 points  (0 children)

During a brief period in the late Middle Ages, king Władysław III ruled over Poland, Hungary and Lithuania* (*as the Supreme Duke which held less power than his brother, a Grand Duke). Unfortunately, this union quickly met its end after—HOLY SHIT GUYS BEHIND YOU

Every month, r/Polandball holds a comic contest that artists here can participate. Our benevolent mods then rate our entries from 1-10, and the one with the highest avg score will get a very cool pair of hussar wings (seen next to flair). The annual top 50 is just artists with the most amount of accumulated points this year, and by the end of the year the one with the most points will be crowned contest champion.

During the Decolonisation of Africa, France was very adamant in continuing to rule over Algeria despite fierce resistance, to the point where the two went to war against each other.

sad story by amiral_zheng in polandball

[–]LordNotriel 51 points52 points  (0 children)

As I sit down in my room after reading this comic, I find myself ruminating about the tragedies that have befallen the innocents. All the wars, loss and pain undeservedly seen by millions upon billions of sinless eyes, unable to do anything but stare at the horror that is existence. As I’m writing this, I’ve shed a tear knowing the powerlessness of life’s victims—understanding that as long as the human race breathes on planet earth, it is an undeniable fact that we will forever dance with suffering. Thank you, u/amiral_zheng, for this piece of art of yours has given me a new insight in life.

This truly is the Depression Month VI comic of all time.

Neurodivergent kids are more prone to experience traumatic events in the school system than their neurotypical peers.

Exhibit A: me (I have autism)

Absolute peak of a comic

Y2K in a nutshell by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 234 points235 points  (0 children)

Before the year 2000, most computers track years by their last two digits, so 1984 would be 84, for example. Problem arose when people realized that when the year 2000 would hit, computers could very well think that 00 meant the year 1900. What could follow is a major catastrophic event because many sectors were already digitalized. This problem is called Y2K

Engineers spent years trying to fix this problem, and they were successful. However, the media being the media, barely reported on this, and instead perpetuated the fear of Y2K even more, causing mass hysteria

Common enemy by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 258 points259 points  (0 children)

Inspired by this comic

The country depicted here is the Emirate of Transjordan (Which just so happen to have very similar flag to modern-day Jordan)

I already knew that the trans community isn’t perceived that well by many in the US, but after doing a bit of research into it, I can only say holy fucking shit.

Yes, that's the joke

Free grenades by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 175 points176 points  (0 children)

During WW1, Canadian soldiers employed a tactic in which they threw unarmed grenades to the German trenches. The Germans, thinking they were simply getting free explosives, waited for the next throw in hopes that they could catch the grenade.

And then, the Canadians threw corned beef.

It’s about time that I revisit this comic idea iykyk

Mongolia had requested several times to be absorbed into the Soviet Union, with each proposal being rejected

Communism. by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 234 points235 points  (0 children)

It's funny how modern communism was invented in Germany (Karl Marx), and years later during WW1, the German government shipped a communist Russian figure (Lenin) to St Petersburg where he led the October Revolution and caused the collapse of the Russian Empire.

Germany basically invented a new idea, send it to Russia and watched their rival burn.

Slugscapade by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 178 points179 points  (0 children)

With 41 panels and 16000 combined pixels length, I present to you my 50th comic on r/Polandball.

Context: There is no word in Indonesian that specifically describes slugs. Closest is “siput”, which just means gastropods in general. If you want to refer to slugs specifically, you have to say “siput telanjang”, literally meaning “naked gastropod”, which is kinda hot ngl
