David Bowie knew the truth first.

Americans…NOOOOOO!

{GASP} The horror!!!!

EGAD! Anything but Americans!

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!

Gasp!

Gasp! I glance at my passport and realize I’m one, too, so I relax again.

Meanwhile Gren’s checking out that side of pork.

That had got to be the funniest moment in this entire series. Seriously, taking up to two panels to reveal our heroes are dealing with Americans had me in a laughing fit.

The proper pronunciation, the side of the pond this story is set, is “Merkin.” (From the way it sounds in some dialects: “Ahh’m a ’merkin.”) An unusual item of clothing nowadays, but in the time of the story it would have been vital to wear one for some of those practising one particular profession -

Nope. Not even the highbrow snooty wanna-be’s would name their boy Pemberton. Last name, sure. First name, not in ’Merika.

Just when you thought nothing could be worse than having to face the Seven Deadly Sins…

This American nearly snarfed a cashew just now.

Lol, I wonder what percentage of the readership of this comic is American…

Oh No! The colonists!

Can’t be Americans – not enough guns.

James 2:24

I suppose there is going to be a reason that he has his office in a meat locker. Being Widdershins, it won’t be because he is waiting for Willis Carrier to invent air conditioning.

This made me laugh out VERY loud today!!! Thanks, Ms. Ashwin!!!
