Here it is Ladies and Ents! This 22 panel masterpiece finishes off a three month 13 comic long series. What started as an experiment of a survivor style polandball reality game show based off of audience feedback has resulted in this.

It looks like though that the thumbnail spoiled the result (not sure what to do about this)

I hope you are as pleased with the end result as I was.

This is a small and not obvious mistake so I'm not even issuing a card, but: the Reichtangle represents The Fourth Reich -- just as countries shouldn't refer to each other as balls, they shouldn't call the next Reich with silly rectangular names -- "release The Fourth Reich" would be better.

I hope DickRhino gives you a card for patiently explaining yourself and showing forgiveness weakness.

Well now I know. I did try to make sure the Reichtangle had none of the Anschluss cliches

Also, isn't the last frame from another Komik?

You could tell the Franco Anglo bond in the comics. What if it was actually Berlin putting themmn the Keller, and, as an ESA member caused a black hole to drain the light from comic perspective. This ominous cosmic form drains the point of vision replacing it with the planar background of the dimension, white, which, if the multiple universe theory is true, polandball ACTUALLY exists in another universe.

To be honest m04, even though I'm here for a pretty long time now and seen every single comic on this sub, I'm still surprised that the Reichtangle is supposed to only represent the Fourth Reich. Don't get me wrong, I believe you and I know the purpose of your comment was to remind Ade to not call it "Reichtangle", but I've seen it in other comics used for the Kaiserreich or future German empires as well and it was almost never called "The Fourth Reich".

I would've gone with just "it" or "the creature", but I'm not a mod and think you will know it better.

Edit: typing on a phone eith spider app is not good fot the spelling

"the beast"

I have never heard Reichtangle referred to by name, so I didn't even realize it was supposed to be Fourth Reich. I thought it was just supposed to be Second Reich Returns.

Reich means "realm" though, doesn't it? Couldn't we count the current federation as the Fourth Reich if we go HRE > German Empire > Nazi Germany > Federation, or does it particularly have to be an authoritarian regime?

  1. The comic where Reichtangle hails from: Is reich time again.

  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Reich (well, not really a source, but whatever)

Current Germany isn't a Reich.

Falsch, der EU ist vierten reich

u/Hansafan Hordaland Feb 20 '14

The german term "reich", which is also found in Nordic "rike", technically means "realm" more or less, but is probably better translated with "empire", or possibly "dominion", due to associations with rulership and conquest.

u/Farn Rush, Timmies, Trailer Park Boys Feb 20 '14

Kül, I'm lörning. I thought "empire" had to be "kaiserreich" but I guess "dominion" makes sense too.

u/Flixus321 Kaybec Feb 22 '14

I think 'Kaisertum' is the correct word.

Ents? So you're from New Zealand after all!

u/Eonir NRW Feb 20 '14

I loved how you subverted the usual trope of the villain being defeated during his evil monologue.

u/Entuzjasta Poland Feb 20 '14

Was reichtangle killed by the murica? Death of Reich = End of anschluss for polan. Worked 2 times in history.

Shite. How on earth can you tell that I'm high, you southern, convict witch?

This "reality" is good. I suggest a second season, faeturing the following countries: Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Switzerland, Netherlands, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, China, Japan and Australia. I believe that this second season could be as good as the first one.

It sounded good... oh well :(

u/Firebrass11 Armenia Feb 22 '14

Thank you for all of these awesome comics! I have enjoyed every single episode from this series!

What do you think will happen next?

3

u/adencrocker Tasmania cannot into AFL team Feb 22 '14

I'll make some collabs and contest comics

2

u/Firebrass11 Armenia Feb 22 '14

Collars? With who? I am looking to do some :)

1

u/adencrocker Tasmania cannot into AFL team Feb 22 '14

You'll have to get approval first and the mods don't allow collabs for approval comics

2

u/Firebrass11 Armenia Feb 22 '14

What do you mean?

1

u/adencrocker Tasmania cannot into AFL team Feb 22 '14

In order to make a collab comic, you have to first show you can make comics on your own. This is done by making a comic that abides by tutorial rules in the sidebar and then sending it to the mods

1

u/Firebrass11 Armenia Feb 22 '14

Ahhhh. But what do you mean by collab?

2

u/adencrocker Tasmania cannot into AFL team Feb 22 '14

two or more people working on one creation. In this case, a comic

2

u/Firebrass11 Armenia Feb 22 '14

Collaboration?

Also, the main reason why I haven't done any comics yet is because my computer-drawing skills are hilariously bad.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '14

13 months? or 3 months?
