Flashpoint: Canada by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My 53rd submission to DYOS X. [link]

This is probably the most pivotal moment in the entirety of the Canadian arc. Given the jocular tone of every other cartoon before and after, one probably wouldn't expect Canada to make or break my empire... but with the so-far-bloodless occupation now balancing precariously on the precipice of violence, the fun and games could come to a jarring end at any moment. And the consequences would never be the same.

My sketch of Hitler in the last panel, a stand-in for the newly-returned Nuclear kid (under the alias Warhead), is call-back to a highly-exaggerated caricature style I drew him in since I was a wee child.
