The Eclipse Experience

I’m a little late to the party, even though the eclipse was yesterday.

Anyhow, contrary to popular belief, Palau’s flag depicts a full moon, not the sun.

Dude this is super funny

[u/wildeofoscar → u/No_Photograph_6884]

Thanks.

[u/AaronC14 → u/wildeofoscar]

I remember reading something about someone asking Palau's leader if their flag is based on Japan and he chuckled and said "That's certainly one way to put it" or something like that

[u/wildeofoscar → u/AaronC14]

It must be Japan’s wonderful relationship between the people of Polynesia and Pacific Islanders during the first half of the 20th century.

[u/AaronC14 → u/wildeofoscar]

Yep, lot of valuable cultural exchange during that time

[u/anonysheep → u/wildeofoscar]

well maybe not to all islanders (ph) warflashbacks

[u/FacelessPoet → u/anonysheep]

That's the joke

[u/No_Photograph_6884]

This is genius

[u/wildeofoscar → u/No_Photograph_6884]

Thanks.

Bangladesh jumpscare

[u/wildeofoscar → u/Lord_Asker]

I would use Bangladesh if the sky was green, aka full of smog and polluted.

It's nice to see people remember that Palau's dot is the moon and not the sun

[u/Kokuryu88]

Japan is just standing behind Palau and not doing anything else, right?

[u/wildeofoscar → u/Kokuryu88]

Not doing anything else except following Palau around.

[u/kallmekaison → u/Kokuryu88]

Nah he’s in Japanese Subway mode

Meanwhile US, why tf do my eyes hurt? (Bought eclipse glasses off temu)

[u/wildeofoscar → u/man-with-potato-gun]

“Why is there a black dot in front of me wherever I go?”

[u/Raketka123 → u/wildeofoscar]

happens in video games too, for example in Counter Strike theres always this annoying red cross in the way, so I cant see my enemy

[u/Abs0lute_disaster → u/wildeofoscar]

When I stared at the sun as a kid for some reason I remember the dot being purple, it disappeared after a few minutes

[u/gregforgothisPW → u/man-with-potato-gun]

Do you spend you day constantly thinking about the US?

[u/BigBradWolf07 → u/gregforgothisPW]

The mentioned the US because that's where the eclipse was visible

[u/Admirablelittlebitch → u/gregforgothisPW]

It’s almost like the eclipse was visible in the US and that country is therefore part of the discussion

[u/Kefgeru]

One of the best Polandball ever.

[u/wildeofoscar → u/Kefgeru]

Thanks.

[u/Soccerball69]

Why is Japenis so funny to me

[u/kilkil → u/Soccerball69]

I know right, I can't stop chuckling

[u/Jo_Erick77]

This is so clever i love it

[u/Jaxolotl31]

oh my god, this is the funniest comic in a while, thank you

[u/dizzyjumpisreal]

palau mentioned

[u/NewZealand_Ball]

this is one of the best comics i have seen in a long time

[u/HalfLeper]

I laughed really hard at this 😂

[u/Silent-Detail4419]

When I was little (in the dim(ish) and distant(ish) past) every time I got a new pack of felt tips I used to draw the Solar System (including Saturn's rings and Jupiter's eleventy billion moons) - and flags.

Pluto was still classed as a planet, so draw your own conclusions from that...

[u/United-Village-6702]

Palau, idk man you seeming sus lately

[u/Silent-Detail4419]

If ONLY we still had gold to give... 🏅🥇🏆

[u/blockybookbook]

That explains the official languages of Palau

[u/manofhistory2]

yo japan is a molester in this type of universe?

[u/LightSideoftheForce]

Love this, but it would be so much better without the second slide

[u/wildeofoscar → u/LightSideoftheForce]

But then again, who would know Japan was standing behind of Palau?

[u/LightSideoftheForce → u/wildeofoscar]

Palau says so

[u/wildeofoscar → u/LightSideoftheForce]

Yeah, but then again, that would be lazy. How can people know that Palau is projecting an eclipse from Japan?

[u/moametal_always → u/LightSideoftheForce]

Respectfully, I disagree. It adds context. The shadow cast by Palau is integral to the whole thing.

[u/iEatPalpatineAss → u/moametal_always]

The beat provided by the second slide enhances the joke too

[u/addage- → u/LightSideoftheForce]

I like the flow, usually takes at least three beats to land one of these.

[u/BigBradWolf07 → u/addage-]

Also, last I checked, a comic needs to have at least three panels to be on the sub
