Comics, Caricatures and all kind of strips was always a way to present reality (especially the hard and Truth one) with a sense of humor.
Lately, I was reading Asterix and it happened to see a parallelism with Ikariam and specifically the Merge event.
I was never in a server merge, but from others of what I heard is like this...
Enjoy..
Before Merge
Merging...
The Server Merge is now complete and everyone is thinking one thing..
(in colors I am giving a translation. Some are original, some are not - the ones with asterisk (*)
* Legionnaires! We are here to enforce respect for the authority of Rome!
FRIENDS, ROMANS,COUNTRYMEN, WE SHALL COVER OURSELVES WITH GLORY!
There is a Gaul at the camp gates, Centurion Sir!
Aha! Maybe they sensed that things are going to change... Open the gates!
Well.. Gaul? Came to surrender?
MEN, CATCH THAT MIDGET! WE'LL MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM!
The outcome?
and the result..
* - May you have many years and great joy...
- He forgot to blow out the candles!
* - Well? What shall we do, Centurion?
- Well, we return to camp, report the events to Julius Caesar... and wait for our replacements!
Waiting again the new Server Merge 
If you don't read Asterix, now is the time!
If you find other parallelism in other (or same) Comics, share it.
