Maycroft sent this art of Mike x Joyce, wherein Joyce is a little friskier than usual. Frisky enough to blast the angry eyebrows off Mike, anyway! And don’t forget to check out those menu items.
Felix continues today’s Joyce theme with his Joyce x Billie submission! He asked if towels technically counted as clothing, and apparently they do. Billie’s wearing her glasses even in the shower, ‘cuz she knows what we like.
It’s Dina Day in SLASH CONTEST land! Our first entry is Dina x Mike by Ben Pung, who’s actually the guy who sent me the first entry! And it’s a very darling entry. I love how Mike is looking over his shoulder as he approaches Dina. Damn that bottle, why’d it have to point that way! I also adore Dina’s dinosaur and her “RAR” shirt.
And this is a second entry by Phillipe Gagnon! You saw his Galasso x Jason art yesterday, but today he’s tossing us Dina x Sarah! (Have those two even met?) Who cares, ‘cuz yowza. Who knew Dina had it in her. And on the Fourth of July, even! What a scamp.
Phew! Computer’s back from the shop, so I can start flooding you with more SLASH CONTEST art! And finally, some dude on dude! …both with Jason. It’s the bow tie, isn’t it.
Yes, it’s Jason x Galasso! Feast your eyes on this, courtesy of Phillipe Gagnon! Y’know, it says “licky-style,” but I don’t see any tongues, Phillipe!
Though never let it be said that Galasso is not a romantic. He came prepared with flowers!
And Jen Aside has given us Jason x Professor Rees, the yet-unseen math professor! And, of course, the real winner of this pairing, the otherwise stoic Sal Walkerton. She ships them hard!
It’s a little disheartening that in a “SLASH CONTEST,” there was so little actual slash! Though it’s partly my fault for having so few male characters, I suppose. I mean, when you have to resort to Galasso…
Just one entry showcased tonight, but that’s because this one’s a doozy. While this entry from Colleen Farley is technically just Jason x Sal, there’s a whole buncha other Dumbing of Age folks in the crowd you can pick out, if you’re savvy. And man do you gotta be savvy. I’m gonna let you folks try, and if no one guesses them all correctly, then I’ll give y’all the answer later. Be warned, some of these guys have only shown up in one or two strips, and one of them doesn’t even have a name yet!
Don’t let the game distract you too much from the wonderful art itself. I love that the only color in the piece is the blush on Jason and Sal’s cheeks.
Moonracer191 has given us a very interesting Amazi-Girl x Mike piece. Amazi-Girl is tied up while hanging upside-down, and Mike’s reluctantly smooching her. I say reluctantly, because his arms are folded. He’s pretty casual about this.
Meanwhile, in the background Batman’s attacking a shark with shark repellent spray. Of course he is!
This must have been one crazy night at the warehouse.
Keeping with our “Amazi-Girl smooching upside-down” theme, David sends us this one of Amazi-Girl x Dina. Longtime readers of mine will remember that Dina’s pretty good with hanging folks upside-down with rope. Either that’s what David’s getting at, or he just wants to see Dina and Amazi-Girl do sloppy make-outs in the rain. Either is fine by me.
I put the prizes in the mail this morning to the three winners, so you folks be looking out for those!
Both of today’s SLASH CONTEST entries are by Noah Chevalier! For the first one we have Dorothy x Walky, via the straw he breathed through while being buried at the beach. This is probably an intermediate step that Dorothy needs. We can’t just go full-on making out with Walky, can we? And the second one is a unique pairing of Mary and Sierra. I’m not sure Sierra’s okay with this.
Okay, so Amber is apparently a very popular smoocher in these entries. But she’s not the whole story, honest! Here’s an Amber x Dorothy x Joe’s camera entry from Alia, who also includes Joe and Danny. This is probably the greatest day of Joe’s life. Danny will agree a few days later, but right now he’s a little scandalized. Danny’s not so good at living in the moment.
But Karen Rustad wanted to prove that not everyone has to be making out with Amber! So here’s Joyce x Dorothy, playing the part of church and state, respectively, and acting out Rick Santorum’s attitudes towards those entities. That’s right, Joyce x Dorothy’s ship name is “Theocracy.”
I’ve been on Tumblr. I know how this works.
This Amber x Mike piece by pixelspasms was almost third place! Seriously, it was so very close. Part of what I loved was the title and/or caption she included: “That was my plan. To make you game-over.” Without that, it’s just a very well-rendered drawing of Mike kissing Amber. But with it, there’s a whole Evil Scheme involved, with possible secondary romantic objectives??? I love this thing.
But it didn’t have Danny in a dress, so it fell just short of placing. Damn.
To round out today’s Amber x Mike theme, here’s an entry from Steven Brown. Bonus points for sweet Mike abs. Points detracted for putting Amber in a Shortpacked! uniform! This is a Dumbing of Age contest, man! But seriously, this is hot.
I told you earlier that the two Honorable Mentions played on a similar theme.This is Amazi-Girl x Amber by Dan Magee! It is the last thing I saw before our boat left cellphone range. It is epic.
And this is Amazi-Girl x Amber by Andrew Colunga! This time with a Watchmen motif.
Are we noticing the theme here. A pretty awesome, world-shattering theme!
(Well, technically, Colunga’s entry should be disqualified for removing the clothing. Against the rules!)
I enjoyed them both very much, regardless.
And here’s our first place winning piece of SLASH CONTEST art! It’s by Sev, and it’s Roz x Joyce. Fun fact: This is the only SLASH CONTEST art I got of Roz! Another fun fact: I may have to give Roz those stockings some time in the future.
Roz Roz Roz.
Tomorrow, we’ll see our two Honorable Mentions (they have a similar theme), and after that I’m gonna start talking about the other 16 or so entries in singles or pairs, day by day. Nobody will be at lack for SLASH CONTEST art for a good long while. As it should be.
You’re getting a poster, Sev! And an extra thing or two! But not just yet, since I’m still sick from my trip and I don’t think I should send germs through the mail.
