Rating: G
Warnings: Your Childhood may not leave intact.
Summary: You know how most countries, we have caricatures of stereotypes from other countries? Well, a lot of those get turned into Material Dubiously Suitable For Children. You have been warned.



I had no idea that Asterix was actually a Belgian cartoon until someone told me, and then I looked it up and found it to be true. And Tin-Tin, too! Have I never read a French comic book?! WOE!Okay, so I was actually correct and it is French and not really Belgian at all. Or something. *flails* I SUCK. But Tin-Tin is still Belgian and that shocks me


Shortly after this took place, a scene Most Definitely Not Suitable For Children occurred. If someone fics it, I will love them.
Some of you now have that Madeline song stuck in your head now, don't you.

And yes, as you can see, I like beating up on France. Oh, but France, it could be worse--you could be portrayed as a destitute immigrant, like what England did with Peru *cough*PADDINGTONBEAR*cough--or just imagine, you could have ended up like England envisioned by Japan:

That's right, folks--Though Hello Kitty is indeed a Japanese creation, she is CANONICALLY ENGLISHthough I think she's technically "from the UK", but I'm pretty sure that she was intended to be British because of Japan's fascination with English culture at the time she was conceived. You didn't know that? YOU KNOW IT NOW.

I've never actually read it, but Superdupont's supposed to be the enemy of Anti-France and he embodies typical stereotypes of French people.

(at least, that's what my French textbook tells me)

...yeeeah, I've never read it. Sounds fascinating, though!

So that means we should draw France like him. *evil laugh*

Here's Superdupont on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdupont)
