Political humor. Not much else to say.

Er... The second doesn't seem like political humor to me, and the first is just a joke on stereotypes.

[Simperin' Fool]

Meh, semantics.

I'm sorry to say this, but the only comic that can pull off butt sex is Cyanide and Happiness.

Okay, first of all, since you have things posted there, you're clearly aware of the fact that there is a dedicated forum for user-made comics / short stories / etc. So I'm moving this there.

Second of all, neither of these are funny. I'm sure it seems hilarious initially to spew out some two-panel, non-sequitur racism, but really it isn't. There's a clear difference between poking fun at racial stereotypes and what you've done here, which is just drawing attention to a negative generalization about entire nations of people. The second one is just...well it's the sort of comic that makes me kind of sad when I think of the sort of people who are becoming politically-inclined in this day and age.

[Simperin' Fool]

Sorry. I thought they were mildly amusing.

[Heccubus]

Okay, but if you post things here you should be aware that you're opening yourself up to whatever criticism or feelings about it that people feel the need to offer. I happened to feel disgust.
I'm sure if you work more on learning what satire and parody are, you can eventually do something that actually does poke fun at stereotypes, instead of just highlighting them.
Also the second one is mostly not funny because it makes no sense, and illustrates a lack of knowledge about what you're trying to convey.

Yes, I know.

Canada's been screwed over by the U.S. in the past, like when they badgered them into scrapping the Avro Arrow, which would have been the most advanced fighter jet ever made, or something like that.

My sense of humor isn't particularly sophisticated. My apologies.

[Otal Nimrodi]

Improve, don't apologize. I'm sure you can do something good, but that's just not exactly it.

[Simperin' Fool]

Thanks.

They are both juvenile. I don’t understand either of them. Why is France holding a hammer and sickle? Why is Canada being raped?

[Despondent]

I thought Canada was receiving cunnilingus?

[Spoon Poetic]

Yeah, isn't Florida the U.S.'s wang?

[Heccubus]

I just feel sorry for British Columbia. If this comic is to be believed, that makes BC Canada's asshole.

I always thought Ontario was Canada's camel toe?
