The drawer probably
wanted to show us the many differences between some countries of Europe : the
different specialities or habits that have some foreigners.
Above all, he had the intention of showing the prejudices against inhabitants
of some countries. It's true that when we think about Europe, or about a country
like Germany, instantaneously, the first idea that comes to our mind, is a fat
man, drinking beer with moustache etc. But -thank God!- all German people are
not like that!
It's a preconceived idea about people who doesn't live in the same country as
us; that a lot of people have.
As you see, it's
very funny to imagine the perfect Spanish or Italian man, but when people start
telling us the typical French man, it's not as funny as it was before

there isn't any typical English man with the others.
But, also, it's true that it's a bit difficult to draw a representation of us,
of somebody who has the typical French clothes or attitude; because we just
don't know what are the preconceived ideas about us.
Or maybe we just don't want to know them
