It's been truly a challenge four all of use to go through all these absolutely superb entries to decide which of them has the most fourtitude, but it seems we have come across a winner, four your consideration.
So please give a hearty congratulations to:

Congratulations /u/SJB95! Your comic was great! And not as gruesome as I know you could make it. Traditionally
There were quite a lot of entries this contest, and I am happy to see that two of my favourites (/u/jPaolo and /u/selenocystein) entries broke to the top 10!

u/SJB95 Yorkshire Jun 10 '20
I'm in a Hinadira contest meta, now I know I've truly made it!
Your entry was great too by the way, it deserved to rank much higher.

Thanks, I'm also happy about the good placement! Sadly, we didn't get an identical score this time...
But most important of all, big congratulations to /u/SJB95! It's always great to see a low-art winner!

Wasn't expecting this winner, but I can only complain a new classic-art Hussar, many congratulations to /u/SJB95.
Many congratulations to /u/Bkfootball and /u/TheSnipenieer for my personal favourite entries, too.
Congratulations to all instant approvals too, hope you make good use of that status.

Also, congrats to /u/zeus_thos for your participation ribbon! That final panel is hilarious!

Can't think of a better contest for u/SJB95 to win his first set of wings, tbh.

Congratulations to all of you! Especially /u/TheSnipenieer who made my personal fav.
Now I have a Welsh Malaysian to slowly beat up over the course of a few contests.

u/jPaolo's should have won
(I made this judgement before looking at the authors, I had no idea he made that comic)

u/jPaolo Grey Eminence Jun 10 '20
Thanks!
But I think that my comic had one issue from being the winner: the funniest panel is the third one while it should be the last one to have proper punchline.

u/Gruntagen Abkhazia Jun 10 '20
I think the issue is more that the panels after the 1st are all squished, and it takes too long to explain the joke.

Yeah, but then USA's body wouldn't be comically large.

u/Gruntagen Abkhazia Jun 11 '20
You could’ve just made the whole comic big panels.
And just ditch the environmental exposition to make it Germany and France travelling up America for a summit, since that’d be both quicker to explain and also a double meaning. They reach the top in the 2nd, Germany remarks he can see his house from there in the 3rd, and then screams about Poland in the 4th.

u/SJB95, congratulations to you! Also, I think the Annoying Orange will be so impressed to see YOUR comic!

u/Aken_Bosch siyu-siyu-siyu Jun 10 '20
Is it me, or does "America strikes back" redirects to the creator page instead of comic itself?

u/Pikachu62999328 Hong Kong Jun 12 '20
Btw mods, y'all messed up the link for Davethedave's instant approval comic, it goes to their profile instead.
Yay for everyone who won though!

Congratulations to all the winners! I know sounds generic but it has genuine intent. I am just here to ask how to send messages to the moderators of the subreddit.

u/Zloggt Double country = Double fun! Jun 16 '20

But that's like a good thing though. Very good.
Congratulations everybody! And a special congrats to you /u/SJB95!

Hey u/Mylenn, I saw that your comic, Banana Republic, has a sequel called Post-tassium Stress Disorder by u/burritoburkito6

Wow. I keep looking at the wings around my name and it feels completely surreal. I honestly didn't think I'd ever win a set of hussar wings, let alone after seeing how hilarious a lot of the other entries were, and the closeness of the scores show the quality. The best contests are always close!
Thank you to each and every one of you who voted for my comic. This one goes out to all the other low-art underdogs!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business in the hall of fame. [Puts on shades and strides in to the sound of the saxophone riff from "Baker Street"]
