The Faroes
Every time I posted a comic that had Greenland in it, quite a few people asked me, ”What about the Faroes?”
Sometimes I would think, “You live in Canada! How the hell would you know about the Faroes?!”
Well, here he is. Denmark’s other “colony”.
The thing about the Faroes is that Danes usually forget all about them because they’re small and they don’t hate us quite as much as Greenland. In fact, they even voted yes to staying part of Denmark, and it quite upsets them that Denmark doesn’t pay them enough attention.
When Danes do remember there’s a place called the Faroes, we usually remember them for spending our money and then complaining about us when we ask them to pay it back.

@NordicScot.... I shouldn't worry. Nobody in Shetland wants to secede from an independent Scotland. The only people who are talking about it are BNP/UKIP astroturf sockpuppets who've been hired to add to all the "you're too wee too poor and too stupid and besides we won't let you" propaganda aimed against the Scottish independence movement. It's all they've got, because there are no coherent arguments for Scotland staying with the Union.

Lol, we really should think a bit more about them, because even though they're not really that important for Denmark, they're still able to determine the outcome of an election! xD
They did this i 98', because when they asked the candidates about if they would get a tunnel between Vágar (where the airport is) and Streymoy (where the capital is).
One of them was like "We'll see, I don't know" while the other was like "Sure, of course!"
Then of course everyone voted for they guy who said he would get them a tunnel, and that guy turned to Socialdemokratiet (The party who won that election) and was like "If you want my vote, give us our tunnel!"
And in the end, they got their tunnel. XD
Sorry if this was completely of topic, just something it made me think about... @Humon should consider making a comic about this! xD

Don't encourage Orkney and Shetland to secede from a future Independent Scotland, SrathChluaidh [Below] That's playing into the hands of Right-Wing English politicians who want to divide us, Orkney and Shetland could have Self-Government in an Independent Scotland, just like the Faroes have under Denmark.

Yeah, well what about shetland and orkney?
They are nordic as well, and with Up Helly Aa (largest fire festival in europe which is all about the norwegian settlers) tomorrow it would be like they are desperately trying to get in to the nordic club, even moreso than estonia.

my mom made the mistake of saying "Faroes... That's in denmark if I'm not mistaken"
The person got pissed and said " Yes, Denmark owns us"
One thing she'll never do again

@IAmNotTheWalrus It's by Oscar Wilde, I don't remember which play it was in but I've read it
And considering Wilde lived way before the other guy...

You know, it could possibly some form of enchanted watch. Maybe to increase his own speed, so he could effectively use the shield as a bashing weapon? Come on, those stars would most likely hurt, among other things.
