SLASH CONTEST

Posted on February 16, 2012 by David M Willis

It was Valentine’s Day, and Maggie drew me this art of Billie and Sal making out, ‘cuz my wife is awesome like that.

Now, the two of us are going to be gone all next week on the JoCo Cruise Crazy (with Joel Watson and his wife), but I am certainly not leaving you folks empty-handed.  I do currently have a five-week buffer, after all.  Even if I get lost at sea, this strip is updating through near the end of March.

But I have something else to keep you folks busy.  A contest, if you will.  Of sorts.

The criteria:  You have to draw two of the characters from Dumbing of Age making out.  It can be anybody in the cast.  It can be guy/girl, girl/girl, or guy/guy.  And it can only be making out.  No actual banging!  And only mouth to mouth!   Clothes please.  Just smooching or frenching,  your call.  And it has to be two real, human members of the cast.  No Ultra Car.  No Amazi-Stool.  No giraffe you’ve labeled “Walky.”

This can be yours if you draw two people making out.

I will (hopefully) accumulate these illicit images while I am on my boat for a week, and when I return, I will choose the one I like the best.  And the one who gets their art chosen as best will receive a free “Touchdown” poster in the mail!  It’ll be numbered and signed, same as the others.  (If you already have that poster, I will send one of the other two.)  I will display my favorites or possibly all of them on this website.  Simple, yes?

So if you draw up some sweet makings-outs, mail your image to wiigii at gmail, with “SLASH CONTEST” in the subject header.  Include your name and mailing address in case you win, plus the name you wish to be credited as on the site.  Please make the art no wider than 800 pixels across, please, in either JPG or PNG format.  I don’t need to print these out.  Unless they’re super hot.

May the slashing begin.

In other news, while on the boat, myself, Joel Watson, and Rob DenBleyker are scheduled to be on Paul and Storm’s awesome podcast because we’re fancy webcomics people.  So look for that later!  And sometime that afternoon will be a “Drawing for Drinks” event where these selfsame fancy webcomics people draw for people so long as our booze glasses aren’t empty.  Which is the best thing I’ve heard in my entire frigging life.  It totally removes that “create a webcomic” and “get a bank account” middleman and just straight-up lets me draw for booze.

I swear Billie is not autobiographical.  Much.

    If you are lost a sea who will take over the webcomic?

    1. David

      Tom Batiuk.

        So you die, and we all get to go to Hell? Cold, Willis.

    Billie… not… autobiographical? So many questions, David… so many questions…

  4. Spiffster13

    Out of curiosity when is this due by?

    1. Spiffster13

      Wait I see a week. Please ignore the idiot behind the Computer screen.

    Just claiming my Amber x Amazi-Girl

    1. Sili

      Hey! He said *no* Ultracar.

    I’m too lazy and untalented to submit a picture, but if I weren’t I would draw Danny making out with Amazi-Girl with Amazi-Girl hanging upside down Spiderman style.

    1. lightsabermario

      This is great! Somebody make this idea a reality.

  7. Ryan Balis

    what’s the deadline? I’m in

    1. David

      On Sunday night (the 26th) when I get home. Monday morning, maybe!

  8. ShifterComic

    No Amazi-stool? Kinda tying my hands, here.

    1. Noel Schornhorst

      I too was deeply saddened by this news. 🙁

    How many entries are we allowed?

    1. David

      However many.

  10. Animal

    This contest is unfair in that it discriminates against those of us who possess the artistic talent of a grunion.

    1. Lamachine

      Agreed. Discrimination against lack of talent is mean. MEAN !

      1. David

        I never said my criteria was “best-rendered making-out art.” Just my favorite. Maybe my favorite will be stick figures.

        1. Rognik

          Gotta love that hot stick-on-stick action.

        2. Sili

          But how do you know if the stick figure is naked or not?

        3. Tenn

          Boy stick figures have an extra line, girl stick figures have two extra circles. Place where desired.

        4. Zababcd

          Elephants are an exception.

    Let’s see, here are some ideas I’m throwing out there.
    For funniest pairing, I’m going with Mike and Carol. ;^)

    For most offensive pairing that will get me lynched, Joyce and Ryan.

    And lastly, for sheer wtf value, is clone pairing allowed?

    1. lightsabermario

      Ooh, I got one more, this is gold.

      Walky and Dorothy, cosplaying Monkey Master and Dexter.

      Feel free to use these, I’m no artist, so I’m not going to be doing them.

    2. Thor

      That’s not the most offensive pairing. The most offensive one (or rather, category) is so obviously offensive, most people’s brains are going to skip right past it.

      I’m not going to do it, as I don’t have the time to do it justice, but I’m hoping someone else does it, just to watch people squirm.

      Aside from that, the funniest kiss would be Walky & Jason, for reasons outside of this comic’s continuity.

  12. NinjaNick

    Ooh, hot!

    I think I’ll enter! Who likes a nice smooching? 😛

  13. kingtorm

    isn’t girl/girl called slashing and guy/guy called shipping?

    1. Aydr

      Nope. Shipping just means that’s your favored relationship pairing, slashing means putting together two same-sex characters romantically/sexually.

  14. Kaylee

    I just realized this about Maggie’s picture: is Billie wearing a shirt with a chest window to get a promotion at work?
