Hey, do you want have some fun? Check it out at this site Scandinavian and the World. It’s amazing. It’s a comics blog about the spirits of countries, their relationships and activities, even if sometimes they publish something about americans, they’re focused on Scandinavians style.
Teresa at Making Light explains it well.
Basically, it’s about national stereotypes as seen from Denmark, with lots of explanatory comments and a fair amount of yaoi action. Iceland is sparkly and conceited. Finland is a semi-mute knife-wielding depressive in a Jayne hat. Germany lives in a funk of perpetual guilt. Denmark is laid back, constantly horny, a clueless racist, and phobic about nature, and has a beer bottle glued to one hand. Netherlands is much like Denmark — tolerant, easygoing, polymorphously perverse, and crazy about bicycles — but has a joint rather than a beer bottle. The Baltic States are like the Bronte Sisters on a really bad day. The United States is clueless, bullying, and wears Canada as a hat. And so forth.

They mix everything to create these comics, a bit of these ingredients are: stereotype jokes, real facts and personal experiences, combined with community helps (yeah, you can send them your own cartoon too, but, before do it, just contact them.). I got some of their comics to post here, actually, I hope they don’t sue me 😛
So here goes some examples of their style.

But still to this day you can still see Communist monuments on the island that stands out from the rest of the art on Bornholm.
5. Golden Dawn
I have no idea what the Frenchmen are up to at night, but it must be fun. XD
Technically the flag on Brother France should be mirrored because we see him from the back, but no doubt people wouldn’t notice and keep asking me why it was the wrong way.
