AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!
We are being pun-ished for wanting to see the costumes.
Sir, I salute you.
Well done, friend…
Well done…
Did mexico pay for that wall?
Uhhh. Didn’t get it. Maybe I must be american or something to actually get it?
Oh, the joy of finding out that privileg is not only a pun, but also the German word for privilege.
Well We all know who the elephant should represent… (and well its perfect :D)
but who is that donkey?

The donkey is some non-personalized member of the Democrats. American political cartoons often use an elephant as symbol for the Republicans and a donkey for the Democrats, I don’t know why, they seem to be some kind of mascots.

The elephant represents the whole Republican party, not just Trump. The donkey is their main opposition, the Democrats. Welcome to America.
We have an underground leakz from Russian hackerz!
Stay tuned for full version!

I feel unfairly stereotyped here. I wear a gas mask most of the time, not a cap.
Phahahaha 😀
Fine by me %)
Norvil — This cartoon makes you a master baiter.
@ MidoriLuna:
That was my favorite bit of this comic, too!
Applauding an artist secure enough within the community to troll his fans. Well done! (also very funny with just the right amount of snark)
Hey, walls work. Just ask the people that were in East Berlin between 1961 and 1989.
@ Jack:
I figured that out too… but maybe that is the problem why they cant actually find anyone to beat the distinct elephant because all they can offer is generic donkey.
Raise your hand if you wanted to see Sandra in a sexy maid outfit.
*Yes officer, those guys right there.*
The … The Evil.. You Horrible Sick Bastard how.. How Could You ;-;
Admit it, you spent a while on this website looking for a secret…
I like the typewriter in this day and age.
I have a feeling we will ALL see Cloud’s reaction at some point. Just long after she’s changed out of the costume. lol!
You forgot the guy in the corner drawing lewd fanart on the wall.
@ Marteri:

Has anyone tried looking for more steganography?
Honestly, I’m pretty conservative, but I literally laughed out loud when I saw the elephant!
Haha, the punchline… it is brilliant!

The thing is that the exact same party who build the Berlin wall & shot eastern Germans made a 180° turn after 1989. They suddenly began to claim they could not bear the mere existence of borders & armies – in western, free market countries.
They only protest against ‘racism’ and ‘sexism’ as long as they can blame it on western, free market countries. They never protest against IS or Hamas. And that is just dishonest.

It was the East Germans who built the wall, and it was the East Germans who shot East Germans trying to cross it. Since East Germany ceased to exist in 1990, I wouldn’t expect them to have anything to say about IS, which didn’t use that name until 2014, or much to say about Hamas, which didn’t exist until 1987.
Oh, I found the secret link…

No, it was not the “east Germans”, it was the SED (socialist unity party). It exists until today as the “left” party.
And yes, in the year 1989 they suddenly noticed that they hate borders & armies – at least as long as they are controlled by others 😉 And yes, they actually hold rallies together with BDS and Hamas activists. And they still claim they would be “antiracist”.

Well, yes, there were extremely few illegal West-German immigrants to the GDR after they built the wall. But that’s not the full truth – there were extremely few illegal immigrants to the GDR even before they built the wall and even legal eastward migration in Germany between 1949 and 1989 was very limited. It could be argued that in terms of limiting immigration into the GDR, the Berlin Wall was a complete failure and the kind of state where such a wall would be build itself failed within a few decades.
I don’t suppose there’s a Patreon page of the other side of the wall? Just askin’.
Mr. Novil, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!!!
(cold war reference if you don’t get it)
Sandra: Like my costume, Cloud?
Cloud: Glurg!!!!
Larisa. I love this waterboarding game…

I’m surprised so many people have taken this seriously despite the fact that they are explicitly told that this is bait.
Then again I have always and will continue to overestimate the maturity of the average human.
Okay, I give up. Where’s the secret code at? All I could find were a few off-colored letters scattered around the page and some nonstandard hash in the page’s metadata…
Apparently, this is bait.
Mr. Novil, Tear down this wall!

What the hell are you guys talking about? The Berlin wall was build to hinder the citizens to *flee* the country. It had nothing to do with immigration.
It was not a “border” to hinder enemies or illegal immigrants from entering the GDR. It was a prison, to hinder the citizens to run away.

Cloud.exe has stopped working!
I anger.
I really like the ‘Glurg’ response.

Okay, just the dry facts then.
The Berlin Wall was not very good at stopping illegal *emigration* either, not by itself, at least. Sure, there were few (but some quite spectacular) crossings but the wall was just a rather low and thin wall, no match for any well-prepared and determined attempt at breaking through. It was still the weakest part in the border fortifications (mostly because there was really no room for any depth of fortification in the middle of Berlin) and had to be patrolled much more heavily than the rest of the border (which was secured with, among other things, by several fences, wide areas of open terrain, land mines, armed guards, dogs and many more).
At any time there were around 40 000 soldiers guarding the border (about twice the number of US border patrol agents – who guard borders many times as long) and massive social engineering and internal intelligence activity in order to discourage escape and identify potential escapees early and deal with them before they even got close to the border.
Ultimately the supposed “antifascist barrier” (so yes, it officially was meant to keep us “fascists” in West Germany and elsewhere out) was an effective way to limit uncontrolled traffic of people and goods in either direction but it took enough money to significantly help bankrupting the GDR, the willingness to use lethal force and the ability and willingness to spy on, brainwash or threaten the vast majority of those who would try to cross it in order to secure the border. And out of all that, the wall part probably still was the easiest to penetrate (mostly because, again, the border fortification in Berlin lacked the depth to prevent tunneling or the occasional application of brute force).
Fine, I’ll just have to learn to make art and in a handful of years I’ll make fanart of grownup!Sandra and grownup!Cloud in sexy maid outfits and it will not be behind a wall and then WHO WILL LAUGH?
Nobody because everyone will love me instead
Damn, that sounds great actually
Let’s do this
oooooor I could sit around all day doing nothing

As long as they were in power, they tried to hinder people to flee the country, as soon as they lost it, they started to destabilize the country.
Pacifism or opposition to armies or borders is not always motivated by naivity, it is sometimes a tool to wage war and harm people.

Well, I wasn’t talking to you, originally, so don’t blame me for writing nothing regarding what you wrote…
That being said, I don’t like Die Linke either, I care neither for the SED/PDS tradition nor for whatever the the WASG stood for and mostly agree with your view on the party policy. I guess I don’t see any change from the foreign/security policy of the SED to the Linkspartei at all – their goal is still to support Russia (for lack of a Soviet Union) and to harm the FRG and NATO. The main difference is that they can no longer do so from a position of political power or a position outside the FRG.
I guess in other fields of policy they haven’t changed much, either, and while I can agree to some of what they want I really don’t want to see them become part of the federal government (or any government, really).
I am torn, while the sudden shift is hilarious, I don’t exactly appreciate politics entering a place I go to go escape politics.
