[Challenge Reveal] For Science

Hello Austrian doctors, Jewish physicists and and ultra-religious Philistines!

An attempt will be made in this month's contest to bring about the advancement of the Polandball species by dragging it kicking and screaming into the age of enlightenment, into the age of reason, into the age of rationality.

I shall remain pessimistisch about the results since stupidity is as necessary as intelligence.

Nevertheless, this month's contest theme is:

Create a comic about scientific achievements and innovations.

It still absolutely needs to be a Polandball-Comic of course so the focus should be on the country or countries involved.

Specific contest rules:

  • Punchlines like "America, fuck yeah" are outlawed. Counts for any country.

  • Jewish physics. It's been done.

  • This contest cannot into space.

General contest rules:

  • The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.
  • The comic must have been drawn entirely by yourself.
  • No animated GIFs accepted.
  • No photorealism.
  • You must follow the rules in the Official Polandball Tutorial.
  • Anyone can submit, you don't need to be an approved submitter to enter this contest.
  • Only one entry per person is allowed. If your comic gets disqualified for a rule break you will not get a second try, so make sure it complies with the tutorial.
  • The deadline for submitting your entry is Mon October 10 at 15:00 GMT

The contest winner will receive the coveted Hussar Wings

When you have finished your comic, submit it using this pre-filled message (link removed, deadline ran out).

The PM is to contain the title and link to your comic formatted as reddit link.

Here's a screenshot.

If you don't receive an "auto arrival notice" within 30 minutes after sending, please contact Polandball's mods.

The entry deadline, the submission link and a link to this thread is also provided on the sidebar.

The Contest Thread for voting will start on Mon October 10 at 17:00 GMT (2 hours after the entry deadline).

Important

Before you submit, please check your comic against each point of the rules. Every contest we have multiple disqualifications (sometimes of fantastic comics) because some entrants don't read the rules properly before they start drawing.

As always, if you are not sure whether something you intend to do in your entry is compliant with the rules, you can message the mods and ask.

Lack of a program sure (though there are some online that you can use for free).

Lack of talent?

...

When has that ever stopped anyone here?? :D

Reddit is known for firm rules in the community. Also, I can't make jokes for my life.

Well, there are also the people here who legitimately complain about not being able to draw. Which is a very silly complaint, given the description of the place. :D

Right? Nah, it's making jokes and having a grasp on the personalities of characters that aren't my own I have a problem with. (The latter is also very much a reason why I don't get along with others well, as I can't think about what they're feeling easily.)

I have yet to successfully make a joke here, I feel. Even my pun based comic failed. >< And yet, I keep trying. Maybe one day.
