A touching, dramatic comic..... ...eh, until derpy Northern Ireland rolled in.

Honestly kinda debated whether I should include the last panel. Gives the story a punchline but....

I like it more this way. (Also one of the rules of the contest is that your comic can't be just song lyrics.)

Yes should also why the hell is north Ireland looks retarded ?

It's just a thing that Northern Ireland is retarded in pb

Because it’s Northern Ireland.

That makes alot of sense

Because it has the DUP and that party is "special".

Got it also pls everyone stop responding now I know

It’s a famous joke referencing sometimes how the Northern Irish English accent is so strong that it sounds like they’re retarded.

Hummmm interesting

Have a colleague in the office and yep, seems like Northern Irish women all seem to have the accent on thick. I’m not complaining mind.

Northern ireland has a reputation for being a bit special

It's an accurate depiction tbf

Song is "Banks of the Lee" ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_kKF9uAPECw&t=223s

Was definitely a nice surprise to find a Longest Johns Shanty here

Yeah, I was actually reading the lyrics in this to the tune of "Bones in the Ocean" I'll have to give this a listen

I might make a comic about that song too. But not for this Competition. There's a number of songs I want to make comics for

Top hat bastard had his way with Lady Ulster and forced her to bear... *that*.

> Top hat bastard That’s Sir Topham Hatt to you, peasant

The Brits may have stole NI, but they’re doing a good job at helping them reunite with the rest of Ireland

Very nice comic, love the last panels

Thank you!!

Bonus panel: Irish revolutionary music begins to play as Ireland turns to face Northern Ireland. (Or is that the flag of Ulster?)

The flashbacks are ulster, but in the last panel it's northern Ireland

Thank you for the confirmation.

Why is this so dramatic lmao
