Somebody have to remind that fat dwarf about Japan's WWII history.
Edit: maybe China could help here

Funny thing is, while the world could only watch these days, as an Arab I couldn't help but remember how Iraq was invaded over a blatant lies of WMD. Hello Colin Powell :innocent:

Sorry, Have no idea what I'm missing about the use of the word sable here.

it's a rather derogatory stereotype of Engrish where's r's = l's. "sabre" = "sable" in Engrish (though, I think this is the reverse direction and is typically considered..."inaccurate" for the stereotype). You've never heard of "flied lice?"

Ok, I take you point but, in this case, I think you're wrong. I've often found misspellings and awkward phrasings on the site as an awful lot of the people who submit are from all over the world (often it's obvious that English is a 2nd language for a number of the cartoonists).

In the case of this particular cartoon, your explanation doesn't really make any sense. Why would a guy from Nairobi bother to make a stupid Anglo "joke" using Engrish like that? I think that it's just a misspelling.
