Looking at the graph, you were highly competitive up to hour 20... then it just tapered off dramatically. Perhaps the mass of words didn't appeal to a casual audience.

Wonderful entry nonetheless, 9th is a shame.

I understand this can be really frustrating!

If it can comfort you, I really loved your comic, and I even find it more competent than min on paneling. Also I loved the idea of embroidered comic strip, nice touch!

Your cute artstyle also inspired me for the little manga. You're the master of cuteness in PB, so it's natural to take you as inspiration source.

I was so emotionally invested in yours that it hurts.

Wait, what? Holy shit!!

I just didn't expected to win! I saw so much cool comic during this contest! I was pessimistic since I thought I missed to show what I wanted to say in my entry (parody of Hetalia and shipping in general). Eh, I almost prefered my comic with Antartica and Nepal

Thanks you for everyone who voted for my entry, I don't really know what to say! I feel a bit mean to all people who do a good job and don't get much pay off for it...

Congratulation to everybody. You are all really good! Next time, I stop beeing cometitive and I give you a chance, I promise.

20th, splendid! Just inside the top 20. And I didn't get out of the annual top 20, so that's also really good news!

Congratulations u/Katalpa for blowing it out of the park yet again, and congratulations to u/palha_assada for being my favorite entry!

u/RamTank Oct 10 '18

I'm just going to say, Tapestry of Us is probably the most disturbing comic I've ever seen on polandball.

Anyways, congratulations Katalpa!

u/Blackfire853 Oct 10 '18

Hmmm, I came 7th from last, but the points did bump me up to one level to 12th place in the Annual Top 50th, so I guess this proves the power of love

Oh dear God! My first contest entry which landed in the Top 3! I am so freaking happy right now! After missing the deadline for the last 4 months! Seems like staying up until 2 AM to finish the comic and getting only 4 hours of sleep right before school as a result paid off!

Shout-out to u/wikipedia_org, u/palha_assada and u/Mylenn for making my favorite entries this time

u/yaddar Oct 10 '18

50 votes such disonour O___O

truth is, I wasn't even going to participate due to lack of ideas so a last miunte comic made froma last minute idea at least gave me the chance to add up some points to the anual ranking

(I spent all my love-related comic ideas on the contest comic that gave me my first pair of hussar wings, so yeah, that's what happened)

u/javacode Oct 10 '18

Congratulations Katalpa !

A special shoutout to u/Barskie's entry, my personal favourite. And there were so many other great comics too. Thanks to all contestants!

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

Does Katalpa work as an actual comic maker? This shit is impressive, specially with how well it emulates the manga-esque artefacts.

u/Barskie Oct 10 '18

Thank you. Fifth really, I'm honored. It was a simple comic. :)

Shoutout to my man u/putih_tulang, nearly unrecognizable in that style!

u/Toucandigit Oct 10 '18

Congratulations to u/Katalpa for the great entry! Polandball’s class divide is getting bigger /s

I barely made the top 50 percentile for this contest, so yay me.

To be honest though, I didn’t really like the entries in this contest, especially including mine. None of the comics felt exceptional, although that may just be my opinion.

u/CrabThuzad Oct 10 '18

Congratulations to both Katalpa and u/flamingacid! Also the day u/wikipedia_org wins a contest it'll be the end of r/polandball.

Shout-out to u/Hinadira for my fav entry in the contest, giving us the best as always!
