[0383] Germany In Four Words
└ posted on Thursday, 7 June 2012, by Novil
Central Europe according to our colorist Lisa Moore from the United States of America in the first version of this comic, including the very appropriate reaction of the geography teacher.
- Larisa: Hey, Landon, I was looking for you. I need some hot kisses!
- Landon: I, uhh, don’t think it’s the right time for that now.
- Larisa: It’s always the right time for smooching!
- Landon: No, we should definitely postpone it!
- Larisa: Why??
- Landon: Because I’m giving a presentation on Germany.
- Larisa: Nazis bad, cars good, the end!

Guess they moved Germany to somewhere else.
After all this time I finally agree with some darn jr. high schooler.
That’s six words. “The end” is a very meaningful part of that. You can’t just take it away and expect the meaning to be the same! What about the END of Naziism or the LAST names like Horch or Benz that are responsible for names such as the Audi and Mercedes-Benz?
The end.
I love this comic but I have to say … NO! Germany is not surrounded by water.
Exept of denmark.
But on this map it’s surrounded by the other EU-lands 🙂
…
Wait WHAT AM SAYING ^^ 98% of borders are BEACH SO COOL YEAH I Want BEACHTIME GERMANY !!! NOW
WOHO ^^
Everyone knows the Netherlands has a lot of water… but THAT much? o.o
Look at the map again! Germany’s OK! It’s France and Poland that she got wrong, but hey, they don’t count right?
🙂
Larisa, there is a think called ‘timing’, you should learn it.
(yeah, yeah, I know the list is longer, but bear with me for the sake of the jole. Brevity is the essence of wit)
Joke! I meant joke! Not “jole”!
Pr<3 Boys 🙂
That’ll teach me not to try and read a map at 4 in the morning. ;p For the record I passed geography … did it all stick… obviously not. lol
As Germany said in Hetalia:
“make sure you’re prepared and raise your hand but do so in a way that does not mock any salute of my country’s past!”
OH GOD! I’M COLORBLIND!
Oh I see what they did there…
…and it would seem even Landon was trying to point it out.
Larissa…you forgot about the angry german kids ‘-‘……
I wonder why Larissa is feeling so……frisky as of late…
Hot damn! Right in front of everybody! She WANTS them to watch!
@ Rua:
I can tell from experience that the Netherlands do in fact have some dry land, as I am living on it.

You happen to be single and rather lonely right now, am I correct?
@ RSprinter:
Maybe this is how it looked like in Pangaea.
Oh Larisa… you need to work on the timing of things. 🙂
Larissa: “Feeding time!”
Postpone Larisa? No, you postpone Presentation! Germany can wait!
@ m:
XD Point valid, and funny!
Larisa’s got it right. But she needs to work on her timing… 🙂
@ Frank:
Considering your comment and the content in the other comments, I feel this fits:
“Springtime for Hitler and Germany! Winter for Poland and France…”
@ Alexander B:
She can’t learn if she can barely thing! Yes, that was misspelled on purpose. I was joking about your own typo. XD
The only thing I find wrong is that Germany seems a little close to the southern beach there. I thought it was more towards the north, but I could be wrong. In other words, I almost agree with Larissa. XD
@ illeatyourself:
I say almost because there are of course a few things she missed in that statement.
This is not the first time I agree with Larisa 100%!

The Teacher’s Internal Monologue: I don’t know why, I ever became a teacher in the first place. These damn kids just keep getting hornier, and more obnoxious year after year. Mother was right, I should have finished my chiropractor course, instead of transferring to teaching.
You can’t exactly blame them for not taking Geography seriously when even the teacher can’t get hold of a proper map of central Europe – never mind the fact Austria’s suddenly acquired a coast in the coloured version (well, I guess it’s Austria as it’s South East of Germany), but even the borders bear little resemblance to reality…
But you’ve got to spare a thought for poor Landon – he probably had a significantly longer presentation prepared, but finds himself attacked by a girlfriend so head-over-heels in love she’s lost all sense of time and context. But still, full kudos to him for managing to create such a concise summary so quickly!
Well, the artist confused the colorist by placing the flag and name out in the sea,
which BTW is empty where Great Britain should be!!!!
There is also too much water between Germany and Denmark. 😉
I hear their beer’s not bad either.
@ Lisa Moore:
You can comfort yourself with the fact that even the National Geographic Channel did a lousy job on the correct shape of the Netherlands (west neighbour of Germany) when they covered the Bijlmer disaster years ago. (Airplane crashing into a large appartment building due to engines falling off one of the wings.)
They got it right on the fireworks disaster in Enschede though, so you get a second chance as well ;D
@ Lisa Moore:
Haha 🙂
Don’t worry … it’s a funny slip up, but correctable. And I bet none of us here could name all fifty states (or heck, all 60+ states covered by a typical EU-area map) without having to look half of them up. Or recognise Iowa by its outline.
You got the flag right at least, I’ve seen people get that one wrong OH so many times.
Also, this is set in the USA isn’t it…? I think you should leave the error in, maybe with the teacher muttering about “at least it takes the attention off his stupid map…” 🙂
Like, Landon’s good at maths … not so hot on geography.
BTW the thing I said about naming all the states? I’ve done puzzle maps for both of those. There’s more in/around europe than there is in the USA. No-one ever gets more than about half without either looking them up, or at least consulting with a whole table full of friends. One of these days I’ll get REALLY evil and make ones that feature Canada, and/or Central and South America.
(Not Africa, because it keeps changing too much. And Asia is a bit too simple!)
I love a girl who has her priorities straight. You go Larisa!
@ Michael:
nehhh… I don’t think the UK would QUITE appear on that map. Doesn’t extend quite far enough east. It’d be JUST in the margin, here.
Can’t see any water at all between Germany and Denmark?! The danish peninsula does like a mite thin, however!
@ The J.A.M.:
I think she’s just figured out this is the way to cause the maximum discomfort for the largest number of people around her. She’s a near-professional grade amateur troll.
@ Lisa Moore:
Oh and I hope we do get to see a corrected version, apart from the placement the colourising job on the whole looked to be as gorgeous as ever 🙂
Also, in Lisa Moore’s defense, Germany DID have a navy! Remember the Bismark.
@ illeatyourself:
Germany is now placed at Italy’s location… which is bad 😉
I’m afraid this doesn’t help the “American geography” stereotype at all.
@ tahrey:
The UK should be visible, the little protrusion under the left speech bubble arrow should be Calais.
I meant the water between Germany and the Danish islands seen at the top of the map. Those islands are quite close to Germany.
It’s just as well she isn’t the one giving the speech.
If Larisa gets a solid lip lock on Landon, he may need a map to figure out where he’s at.
The presentation can wait! Forever!
