Still, your clearly an Eddie Izzard fan and that's alright in my book.
Funny as it was, what exactly is it mocking? There was literally no invading in Halo, it was all "raze to the ground and hang everyone by their intestines" with the Covenant. Same with the USNC.

But this isn't a nation claiming the celestial body!
And, Neil Armstrong was posting an "America was here!" sign, not a "This is our land!" sign.

Yeah...especially as the take off would have sent the flag flying anyway.
Hey...you know how the flag rules mean you can't lie flags on the ground? What about the ground on the Moon?
Andy Shandy: In that case, I claim this thread in the name of Scotland.
Do you have bagpipes and drum?
I mean, it's all very well to have space marines in their fancy kit, but it you want to say "This is mine, keep off", blasting out "Scotland the Brave" just works better.

You mean you don't? Then how do you know which country your standing on? How do you know it loves freedom? Don't you get confused?

Caramel Frappe: Erin's 2-panel expression in the last part of this strip was ... worthy of being made into Avatars. Just edit a tad bit and it'll look like she's twitching out of anger + frustration + resisting to kill all of mankind in one setting. Hilarious comic man.

Ah, the flag farms. Always an inspiring sight and an important part of our nation's agriculture. Strangely, those places use LESS water than the almond and alfalfa farms.

The Covenant didn't annihilate the Grunts on their planet, or the Hunters.

Not if I disintegrate your flag, with my Disintegrator! [pulls trigger] Huh, whaddaya know. It disintegrated.
Don't make me stick Gossamer on you.
So long as you don't dress us up as rabbits and send the Abominable Snowman after us. <.<
That would be troublesome.
Nah, I'll just use the illudium Q-32 Space Modulator.

I wonder how long it will be before the people living there disagree.

I was thinking the same thing. One the one hand it was amusing, but it was clearly poking fun at a satirical not-Halo, so I was confused because the message wasn't actually related to the game. Sort of like satire by someone who only knows halo from a google search of images.

That only matters because no nation can really do anything in space except a little exploration. You can bet once we can actually start mining and colonizing that this treaty will become meaningless.
Eh?
