Never thought I'd see the day when Polandball would manage to be creepy, but this one managed it:

I'm sorry but that's both hilarious and adorable

Speaking of deranged medicine, Ben Carson is pretty frightening.

Eh, maybe I'm just projecting because the legend itself freaks me out. I've spent a lot of time in the deep woods, and been lost at least once for an extended period of time, so the idea of spooky forest things is fairly close to home.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Baffler likes silver, walnut trees, the color green, tanzanite, and dogs for their loyalty. When possible he prefers to consume beef, iced tea, and cornbread. He absolutely detests ticks.

Yeah I get you, though I think your spookiness comes from your experience than the comic

Honestly polandball has some of the better art I've seen recently. Plus it has lame political humour. What more could you want, really.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Considering that the point was for the art to be shit and the political humour so edgy it starts a blood art tumblr it's a massive case of missing the point

In my experience with polandball, as the art quality goes down, so does the edginess. Germany you cannot the box.

I will never understand how something so unfunny and so poorly-drawn can be so popular.
I guess that's kinda terrifying, in its own way?


Bonus Terror: tonight I see some of the most terrifying bands in the country.


Edit: Although I guess unfunny and shite things being popular is nothing new. The same could be said for Family Guy or any number of other stupid shows.
It's just that Polandball doesn't even try to be funny, as far as I can tell.

In a very literal sense high quality polandball smooths all its edges :^)

So I'm doing research for a presentation about skin diseases caused by cytoskeletal disorders and I open a Wikipedia page for Harlequin-type ichtyosis.

Spoiler: NOPE. NOPENOPENOPE. (click to show/hide)

That was the first mistake.

The second mistake was GISing it since the Wikipedia pic is an 1886 illustration.

I guess it has some aesthetic property in its simplicity, that's the only way it can deliver as it does.

That, and it's 'global commentary'. Absorbing 'global commentary' makes you smrt sarte smarttr smarter.

It's also because Yoink is obligated to hate anything popular because it makes him seem cooler :P
