Oh Allah, forgive my sins and spread word of sadness
Comics about cartoon balls probably wouldn't be as sad, but these comics are about us.
- Redditor FVBLT is renowned for both comedic prowess and the ability to grab your heart and squeeze until nothing is left but despair. It's especially jarring when you're expecting a Black Comedy punchline. Notable comics by FVBLT include:
- Canada and the Three Wishes
◊. He receives a My God, What Have I Done? moment at the end, but by that time it's too late. - The Little Voice in Venezuela's Head◊.
- So Happy Together◊, a textbook example of an abusive relationship.
- The Façade◊. John_V98 did the illustration, and it's obvious who wrote the script.
- Canada and the Three Wishes
- Americaball packs up his office◊, leaving a frightened Germanyball at a desk labeled "Leader of the free world." (Released on the day of Donald Trump's inauguration of President of the United States).
- Totalitarian state he may be, but USSRball◊ being Driven to Suicide is pretty sad to watch.
- Flowers of blue, summers of gold◊, based on anti-Soviet resistance in Lithuania during the 1950s.
- How the Romani people suffered in the Holocaust, and how they are largely forgotten in public memory.◊
- Crimes against humanity◊ and its bonus panel◊, apart from the ending.
- The neverending cycle of slaughter in WW1◊.
- How UN's daily days go on.◊ All the world problems that occurred while he passes by various nations just makes it more depressing to read.
- A sick and weak Liberia writes a letter to a cardboard cutout of the UN◊.
- It's hard not to feel sorry for Spain when he grieves for his long-lost empire in this comic. Drowning My Sorrows at its finest, and it also shows that UK is not so different from him, despite their Gibraltar dispute.
- The UN crying while imagining the world in peace◊, which is impossible to become a reality at this point.
- Cue Israel and Palestine hanging out together at the third panel, both feeling happy and content with each other. It is probably one of the only moments in any Polandball comics where they are not fighting or hating each other.
- This comic involving◊ Reichtangle is pretty depressing, due to the realization that he only anschluss everyone in his sight. As the result, he takes his own life in the end of the comic.Reichtangle: Ich am useless, no friends, no family, only anschluss... Ist goodbye time.
- Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds, which shows America's regret over having created nuclear weapons, and even compares himself negatively to Death the Horseman.
