Hmm, would it be possible to put the new Volume 4 scans and screenshots under a cut...? I-I don't mean to sound offensive, it's just, my copy has yet to arrive and I'd rather not see everything in advance ><;;

Norway, you say? He's lookin' a lot like Iceland there.

[/SQUINTS]

Family resemblance, I guess.

It'll be interesting when we get a better scan of this.

(Also, why elephants, I wonder?)

I can't get it any larger, mate.

It's just, the hair doesn't look right, if it's Nor. :Va

It's actually Iceland-- His hair curls toward his cheek, which is a trademark of Iceland's hair sides.
Also, the text below him says "Iceland" but I like to prove how much I love Iceland by looking at his features :')...

Norway is probably to the left of him, cut off by the picture, maybe?

IT'S OKEY, I RECOGNIZED HIM THE SAME WAY :U *shot*

You're right. It's Iceland there, not Norway.

And I'm positive it's about the Classical Elephant Jokes and Countries.
You know, the one where goes like:

Germany: The origin and development of the Indian elephant from 1200 to 1950
American: How to breed bigger and better elephants
Russian: How we sent an elephant to the moon
Swede: Elephants and the welfare state
Spaniard: Techniques of elephant fighting
Indian: The elephant as a means of transportation before railroads
Finn: What elephants think about Finland

Though I'm quite sure it's slightly modified, at least at the French part (it seems like French thinking about 1000 ways of preparing Elephant's recipes?)

[identity profile] hokuohranger.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
yup, the kana under the picture is アイスランド or Iceland.

Also, I hope you don't mind if I'm leeching here, but I also have found some blog pics, and perhaps I can share them here?

Sorry to be a bother, but the link doesn't seem to have the pictures when I click it. D: Is there somewhere in particular I need to go on the site or have they just been deleted? -weeps-

I would also say it's about those semi famous elephant jokes.

The ones I found:

Every nation has to write a book about the Elephant:
The French book - 1000 ways to cook Elephant
The English book - Elephants I have shot on Safari
The American book - How to Make Bigger And Better Elephants
The Japanese book - How to Make Smaller And Cheaper Elephants
The German book - A Short Introduction to Elephants, Vol 1-6.
The Swedish book - How to reduce your taxes with an elephant.
The Icelandic book - Defrosting an Elephant
The Canadian book - Elephants: A Federal or State Issue?
The Finnish book - What Do Elephants Think about Finnish People



There are a couple more.

No, why?

Simple stereotypes as jokes, but not really offensive.
And they work well with Hetalia characters.

[identity profile] hokuohranger.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! So, Hima must've used this version for the manga, cause the jokes are same!(except Germany's book is up to volume 20, but it's just minor thing)

[identity profile] saku-lion.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Good to know that (and it's quite normal that jokes vary in such minor details,
by word of moth and all)!

It's also nice to see that he picked up another joke after heaven and hell.

The version of this joke I found has:

The French Book: The Sex life of the Elephant
The Danish Book: 100 easy ways to cook him
