Sweden Denmark and Norway
Hooray for stereotypes!
Sweden, Denmark and Norway as we see each other and ourselves.
Sweden is seen as the most advanced country in terms of technology. In Norway they’re seen as snobs and arrogant, and in Denmark they’re seen as people who are very concerned with order, but loose all self-control when they come to Denmark to drink the cheep beer. For some reason Swedes see themselves as cleaner than the other two.
Denmark is seen, both by themselves and the others, as the most laid back country. Sweden see Danes as lazy and without self-control ever, and in Norway they’re seen as people who pursuit a comfortable life.
Norway is seen as the country that is most in touch with it’s beautiful nature. The Swedes see them as unhygienic fish-eaters, and the Danes see them as calm and easy going people.
Of the three countries, Denmark and Norway has the best relationship. Obviously.
But deep down we all see each others as friends.

I just finished an archive binge, going backwards, and finally ended up here. Not only has this been a thoroughly entertaining experience, but I learned more about Scandinavia and the world in just a few days than I ever would have just reading about it in other sources. As a linguistics nerd, I found particularly humorous all the pages about how similar and how different the Scandinavian languages are, which I already knew about, and the kind of practical problems this can cause, which I didn't. I also got a thoroughly enjoyable set of history lessons on events that we don't learn about, or don't learn properly, here in the States.
Det var en oplevelse at læse dette! (And I hope I didn't just say "It was a resuscitation to quench this". )

"Hi, I'm Sweden, I'll be your IKEA customer service helper today!"
"..."
"Yes?"
"How do you put together an.. A... Ap... Apalaerö armchair?"
"Oh, I can't help you unless you pronounce the name correctly. We comfort people after they fail until they get the hint and go to Walmart. Again, unless you pronounce the name correctly. Then we'll help you."
"..."
*Hangs up*
(Sweden looks like a customer service representative.)

SATW is 10 years old now! Wow, it has come a long way!
BTW, make sure to check the Facebook page, seems like Humon is putting up all the new comics up there now, seeing as the site hasn't been updated since early June.
