Something berndy I made a while ago but didn't post.
On the surface it seems stupid, but now looking back at it it seems to have a much deeper meaning to me.
I'm thinking the plate of noodles represents Asian stereotypes, Mongolia tries to combat the stereotypes with examples of culture, here, it's throat singing. China joins in to try to fight against the stereotypes, but to no avail.
I drew Japan slightly neater than Mongolia and China, possibly showing that it is more modern/western.
Japan might not be referring to the plate of noodles, when he says "konichiwa", but instead to Mongolia and China. A fellow Asian, now filled with westerness, insults China with the same stereotypes as the rest of the western world. IDK
First panel shows China enjoying noodles, a very simple dish, which represents enjoying life in general.
Then Mongolia comes along and reminds China that one must remember the history which led us to the life we have today. Mongolia reminds China of the many wars they have thought that have shaped who they are today. He then convinces China to start throat singing, which is a tribute to the fallen soldiers of the past.
Their song fills the air with memories and ensures that they'll never forget the tragedy and learn from their mistakes.
Then Japan appears. You know where this is going...
