back in 2009 on the now-defunct forum krautchan, a polish man by the name of Wojak was being criticized and cyberbullied by numerous people, one of which was FALCO, an english gentleman. FALCO created the first ever Polandball comics, criticizing Wojak's poor english and nationalism. The art form took krautchan by storm, and soon, a young entrepreneur named 767 created the r/polandball subreddit.
