A Quick Sketch-Comic
Coloured very badly in photoshop in under 5 minutes because I A) have no time and B) just don't care.
Copypasta'd description from my dA:
"Based on a conversation with my girlfriend about something I noticed in England. My Brit!friends and I used to call it "The Starbucks Game" cos we first noticed it while in a Starbucks. (Referenced here by England's barista apron.) Basically, here's the alcoholic version:
1. Find a pub during tourist season. Not just any, but one that you know will get a lot of tourists.
2. Take a shot every time someone from the states insists they're Canadian.
Funny thing is, when you ask a Canadian this, they either say "yes" (cos Canada is in North America I guess) or "Canada" as if they're elaborating. Both are said politely, neither is an outright denial.
Even funnier, most Brits who ask this really don't care that much and are only making small talk. Not like here in America where I live now. If I use my accent, people ask where I'm from. I say "Poland" and I'll get something like "Oh! My cousin so-and-so went to Krakow once!" Um, that's nice? What the hell am I supposed to say to that?"
...someday soon I will have some free time to actually draw something that doesn't suck. ;-;
(And if you're curious, the part of England I lived in was Hereford. And don't give me a sarcastic "Oh! How posh!" either. I may have lived in a nice area but I can sock you like a chav if need be... Also I'm not English anyway.)
Hope SOMEONE out there is amused,
