Nice to see all the Nordics there (plus Sami or Sister Sami).
I love how Finland's the only one that hasn't changed his expression in all the comic's strips. Still morose as usual.
I like Sami's design she's cute (I don't think I have to specify sister, since if Humon is sticking to this one the guy version would be brother instead).

This is a title.
I guess IKEA is
Serious Business to the Swedes.
It's always nice to see a new character.
Unless the character is badly executed (which happened once, with Spain). Glad to see this is not the case here.

How was that?

First time we saw Spain they were dictatoring, I think. Or maybe that was Italy...

Technically second time, and it was Italy anyway. Spain didn't do much there. His actual first appearance was no different. He was just there composing the Eurovision mess.
As far I can tell, those are the only two appearances by Spain, so I am quite curious to why Quag thinks it was badly executed.
You guys actually missed a comic. Silly you. Luckily I know how to use a mouse. 
Here.
It's the next one after Greenland tells Denmark and the other Nordics where to go.
Too old for this
So the French surrendering stereotype has finally reached Scandinavia.
America's moon flag has been bleached white? [Makes sad face]
Yeah, sad but true. At least we (humanity) left something standing up there.
Do we have a picture of said sun-bleached flag for realsies?
Indiana Solo
Not from close enough to make it out. India's orbiter has a few pix of some of the landing sites and you can make out the lander legs, and even the rover some brought. The flag's too small though.
I like that. Though it would have worked better if it was Brother Scotland in uniform - he's just that crazy.
The Dragon of the Eastern Sea
Humon's arm is hurt, but she left this fact for this week. Is there someone expert in Vikings who can confirm it?

I have heard that old-school Norse were pretty harsh on sexual assault, but didn't know about it being a potential death thing. Keep in mind that it would only apply to free, non-outlawed, Norse women. Slaves and the women of your enemies were fair game, and by definition an outlaw was outside the protection of the law.
But my knowledge on vikings and old time Norse societies is pretty bare bones, so don't take my word for it.

I've also read that Norse women had the right to divorce their husbands. In fact, it was considered a mark of shame for a man to have his wife sue for divorce, as it implied he was at fault for letting the marriage fail. I can only assume it also worked the other way around.

Wouldn't bet on it, really.

The Vikings being harsh on sexual assault is true. There's a story about a group of Vikings who went to serve in the Byzantine Emperor's bodyguards. One of them attenpted to assault a Byzantine woman, who fought him off and killed him with a knife.
Not only did they pay her reparations for their comrade's actions, they dumped his corpse in a river instead of giving him a funeral.
The part about a woman having divorce rights? Also true.

Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.
The same sort of thing happened in the hellish mess that was later formed into Germany, where if you tried to rape, or actually raped, a woman you got done for crimes against property, namely hers. And of course her father's, as she could have been seen as his property until she was in a good marriage.
The rules weren't all that well enforced a lot of the time, especially in the decades long period of Princes Temporal and Princes of the Church engaging in petty, mindless and idiotic as fuck squabbling which became known as the Thirty Years War, which ripped the German lands to shreds, but they were at least in the background.
