maybe it's a "what if?/elseworlds" comic
Why does ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) smccloud's map of Western Europe depict a Germany that encompasses Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, the eastern half of Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia (as well as Luxembourg and possibly Liechtenstein [thanks, eqe])? UPDATE: Scott acknowledges and regrets the error.
Also, why does Google Chrome sound like Google is reinventing emacs as a Web browser, with Javascript instead of Lisp?

Looks like he's drained the Black Sea too. Which should put an end to the strategic questions over Sevastopol. Tue, Sep. 2nd, 2008 07:52 pm (UTC)

If history has taught us anything it's that drawing lines on a map is fun... err... doesn't work. Tue, Sep. 2nd, 2008 07:53 pm (UTC)

Even more disturbing, Iceland seems to be speaking in that panel! Tue, Sep. 2nd, 2008 08:03 pm (UTC)

Actually, it's Denmark's new plan. We only pretend to be mild-mannered reasonable Socialists. Tue, Sep. 2nd, 2008 08:33 pm (UTC)

Duh, it's an allegory of Google's long-term scheme to take over as many sectors of the economy as it possibly can. It's only up to the allegorical equivalent of Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, the eastern half of Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia at the moment.

Also, he's definitely got Luxembourg and, I think, Lichtenstein too. Tue, Sep. 2nd, 2008 09:02 pm (UTC)

Well, emacs is a rather interesting operating system wrapped around an at best adequate text editor, so... I guess you have been reading Yegge? Wed, Sep. 3rd, 2008 12:11 am (UTC)

Fortunately he's bridged England and France, although I don't remember England being quite that sea-cucumber-shaped in the past. Wed, Sep. 3rd, 2008 01:05 am (UTC)

Google Chrome sounds like, but it sure looks like the most disappointing Chick tract ever. I kept waiting for it to be too late for other browsers to accept Jesus. |
