Viva La Révolution~!!
Ick, sorry I haven't been updating and that this is only a quickie. I am currently without both scanner and Photoshop, (you can probably tell from the quality of the scanned pics that this is not my usual scanner,) and I will be for a while longer. However, I felt compelled to do something for Bastille Day, by doing a comic in commemoration of the Judgment of Paris 1976. XD
Title: Win(e)!!!
Warnings: None
Summary: England judges in a blind wine-contest.
A/N: If you don't know what the Judgment of Paris 1976 is, a British wine merchant, Steven Spurrier, organized a wine contest between American and French wines on the bicentennial of the Fourth of July. In a blind taste test, (judged by French wines critics and Spurrier,) the American wines won in both the red and the white categories, forever breaking the myth that French wines were the premier wines of the world. France threw a fit, America was freaking ecstatic and England... was very confused. XD
I've actually been dieing to do this since I saw the movie Bottle Shock, starring Alan Rickman who plays Spurrier, which is the origin of one of my favorite quotes ever:
American winemaker: "...Why don't I like you?"
Rickman/Spurrier: "Because you think I'm an asshole. But I'm not an asshole at all, actually. It's just that I'm British and you're not."
You may think it callous of me to do a comic of France's lowest moment in its wine history, but hey, isn't revolution what Bastille Day's all about? (Plus the only reason why France agreed in the first place is because they wanted to humiliate America on its birthday.) Happy Birthday to you, too, France~ ^___^
And before anyone says anything about me putting America in plaid again, the American winemaker wears plaid, so there. XD
