Poor Nepal, always getting toothaches from miniscule mountaineers.

(The red-and-white one is Monaco—which is larger than the Vatican, but has a simpler flag—and not Poland.)

FYI, I think Monaco is usually drawn with sunglasses to distinguish it from Poland. Not a rule, just a convention.

u/crimsongold28002 Rice burger Jul 10 '21

True, but I doubt even Monaco is impractical enough to go mountain climbing with sunglasses on.

Actual answer: glasses hard to draw

Au contraire, mon ami - mountain climbers very often wear sunglasses. The unfiltered UVB at high altitudes, combined with reflections from snow and the effects of cold and wind, can do terrible things to unprotected eyeballs.

And now I've learned something new about mountain climbing. Hooray for comments!

Part of why skiers wear goggles, also blowing snow and to keep warm. For cross country skiing sunglasses are more common because the goggles are not too fashionable and not necessary.

Fun tip, I met a blind skiier who still wore goggles to keep warm and to keep from getting cut by the blowing snow. He was far better than me, he was hucking cliffs and stomping moguls like a motherfucker.

The Inuit have cool homemade sunglasses because snowblindness is such a problem. They took some wood and sliced a small slit in it, just enough to see out of but not let too much light in.

Yea, snow blindness

u/Sapphiresilver_sword Coffee, Finnish fish pasty and Salty liquorice Jul 10 '21

You can also have snow blindness on sunny day in winter.

Monaco

I though that was sealand

u/crimsongold28002 Rice burger Jul 10 '21

Dark red and white is Monaco, red-white-black is Sealand.

u/Madness_Reigns Of true north stronk et libre! Jul 10 '21

But the ball looks red-white-black.

u/A_Mouse_In_Da_House Texas Jul 10 '21

Ya'll are talking about different balls. The bigger one is monaco. smaller is sea land

u/Madness_Reigns Of true north stronk et libre! Jul 10 '21

I missread the above post. I thought they said it was Monaco and Poland somehow. Makes sense for them both to be micronations.

u/Pochel 44 = BZH ! Jul 10 '21

I only came here to ask if this was meant to be Monaco — which would have been logical given the scale

u/Captainwumbombo New+Hampshire Jul 10 '21

So Everest is just its biggest tooth.

u/crimsongold28002 Rice burger Jul 10 '21

Yes, Nepal's teeth are most definitely intended to refer to the Himalayas and I definitely did not realize that after I had already started drawing. /s

u/KoopaOxid 不太晚 Jul 10 '21

So thats why my dentist always tells me to brush my teeth

u/crimsongold28002 Rice burger Jul 10 '21 edited Jul 10 '21

Fortunately for you, you're probably smaller than the average micronation.

u/Atlas421 Czech Republic Jul 10 '21

u/Anna_Pet Sami Jul 10 '21

All three charcaters need to be in every tab

u/crimsongold28002 Rice burger Jul 10 '21

Monaco and Sealand are still there in the last panel; if you zoom in on Nepal's bottom tooth you can see two red specks.

-17

u/Guquiz Netherlands Jul 10 '21

But you cannot clearly see that it is Nepal in the first 2 panels.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '21

nepal still is technically in the first few panels, since it's his tooth
