But did you know the original version of the cartoon was actually about NATO? It was drawn in 1988 by Hughes-Wilson, thank you @catarina@kbin.social for the info: https://www.lambiek.net/artists/h/hughes-wilson_jn.htm

Not sure how one can put alt-text on an image on Lemmy, so I'll leave here a description of the cartoon:
The perfect European should be (there are comical draws for each nationality):
Cooking.. like a Brit. Available.. as a Belgian. Talkative.. as a Finn. Humorous... as a German. Driving.. like the French. Technical.. as a Portuguese. Flexible... as a Swede. Famous... as a Luxembourger. Patient.. as an Austrian. Controlled.. as an Italian. Sober.. as the Irish. Humble... as a Spaniard. Generous... as a Dutchman. Organised.. as a Greek. Discreet.. as a Dane.
PS: Note that some stereotypes are 'recycled' from the original NATO version where they were attributed to other nationalities.
That's for embedded pictures in comments only, unfortunately. OP would have to put the description in the text field when submitting a picture. It's a bit clunky.
