[fancomic]

Title: Lengyel, Magyar - két jó barát
Author/Artist: me >_>
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Austria, Hungary/Poland
Rating: G, I guess...
Warnings: I can't draw Austria properly. Especially in a nightcap. Pencilwork.
Summary: Hungary and Poland meet to remember the old, good times.


(some explanation rambling, if you don't feel like reading it skip it to see the last "panel" of the comic)
Józef Bem was a general who fought (led armies) in (amongst others) Nowember Uprising and Hungarian Revolution of 1848, being a hero of both Poland and Hungary. He was a skilled soldier and a charismatic leader. As I'm lazy and space-saving for further read I send you to Wikipedia -_^
Furthermore, Poland and Hungary have a history of friendly conections, including two (short lived) personal unions.
The title is a quote from a proverb functioning both in Poland and Hungary, the versions are a bit different, but the general idea is that Poles and Hungarians are good friends, both for fighting and drinking. I don't speak Hungarian, but I've been told that "barát" can mean both a friend and a boyfriend and for that duality I chose this language version. I know, it's silly of me.
Also I couldn't stop myself from throwing in a lame joke about polish love for alkohol. Still it's true that Hungary is well known for it's liquors. A curious thing is that Tokaji was one of the favourite liquors of the pre-partitioning polish nobility, often used as the wedding wine (during partitions switched to wedding vodka because it was more easily reachable and unhapilly it stayed that way)

Well, some inspiration was also a certain song about Ułani (and how they are being loved by maidens, widows and married women alike), that's why Poland's on horse ^^
Probably there are loads of mistakes for I have no idea about horses, sabres and the like, please forgive me for that. I also beg pardon of the Austria lovers. Actually, I'm not good at drawing any of the Hetalia characters, but at least I didn't stuff the other two into nightgowns and make them run around like that.
The most worrying thing about the comic is how much fun I had while drawing that. Hope the Reverse Satisfaction Law doesn't apply this time.
The second most worrying thing is that I've read only the scanlated Hetalia comics and am unsure of my ability to keep "people" in character.
