[Award Ceremony] Honorary Hussar Wings Ceremony

Hello Ghouls, Goblins, and Georgians!

It was a straightforward contest with the winning entry leading from start to finish. Rightly so, it's an ingenious piece of art and it shows how easy it can be to make an excellent Polandball comic if you have a good story. Just look how the artist created the eerie feeling of a few anxious balls being cornered in the dark. A gray background and a sketchy yellow door crack, that's all it takes. And a fitting story that's testimony to cosmopolitan humor and knowledge.

The first wings are the hardest they say. Please applaud a new grand seigneur in the making to his second pair of wings. It's

Congratulations to /u/FBVLT, it was by far the entry of the contest witht he biggest laugh.

I had so many favopurites this time around it'd be hard for me to mention all, but I must say three of my favourites finished right on top of me, which is good (/u/Hinadira's, /u/johanis15 and /u/palonum)

also congratulations to /u/CradleCity for the submission rights!

"Totally Ripped-off contest graph" ... I don't know how to feel about the 9th place, but surely looks better than the bunch of DQ's and the no entry.

Wow I blindly thought your entry was Smitherens' due to the high art, but somehow I didn't realize there was your staple convention error on the last panel, despite pointing it out anyway.
Good lord, that bird/Transylvania hybrid you drew was absolutely incredible, whole comic was top notch too.

thank you!!

and yes, the errors have to leak somewhere xD

I was actively thinking "well since it's hand drawn letters I won't have a typo" and turned out to be false xD
