Summary: The comic strip uses humor to comment on the absurdity of war and the motivations behind it, as well as the cultural differences between countries. It pokes fun at the idea that war can be a lucrative business and that even the most unlikely of allies can find common ground in their shared dislike of bad champagne.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
