We’re Number 6! – The Netherlands
We were originally going just going to do the Top Five viewing countries of Exiern this year but even though there’s a significant difference in the figures from Number Five to Number Six, there’s also another another significant drop from Number Six to Number Seven. Also, with The Netherlands both being the Number Six country and also having a public holiday called Koningsdag (King’s Day), how could we say no?
Now we often give the artists a lot of latitude in creating these outside a handful of elements and guidelines but we couldn’t help but feel something was missing. However, since the artist had taken so much trouble with this one, we decided to keep it but come back tomorrow to see a very rare Sunday page in order to see what – or more accurately who we had in mind.
Art by Colin Wells of the webcomic Normal.
We also welcome back Sean Harrington of Spying With Lana, whose clear mastery of anatomy, colour and artistry overall in his own webcomic finds him back with us stamping text captions on other people’s art.
The most recent story page as per this Monday April the 22nd here.
New page on Sunday the 28th before the next story page on Monday the 29th of April 2019.
Hey, other webcomics to check out! Thank you, even if I suspect there won’t be as much text stamping as I’d like, hmph.
Speaking as a Dutch person, this was a pleasant surprise. For such a tiny country, we always seem much more present on the internet than expected, and being 6th in the world for viewing anything seems quite an accomplishment.
Also my compliments to the likeness. When I saw the picture, I was surprised to recognize the royal couple even before noticing the flags or the orange elements.
Happy king’s day!
Oranges? Not carrots?
As you know, Netherlands is why the carrot is the colour it is today, except for heirloom varieties of purple and white (and no, they are not parsnips 😛 )
