WHOA! Fist-A-Cuffs Championship WON!
December 15th, 2007 — 02:50 pm
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It looks like you are not kidding me. Thanks so much for not kidding me! Our team for Sam Hiti’s excellent Fistacuffs contest has won the finals! Our team, pictured above, was the victor in an extraordinarily close race: I think we won by two votes, maybe? Out of 86. Whew!
Most of the credit must obviously go to my teammates, who drew respectively (from left): DANGERLINE MELEE, by Javier Olivares, the winner of the very first Fistacuffs, lo these many months ago; KILLY MELEE, by David Rubin, who has one of the best lines I’ve ever seen by a cartoonist; and of course I drew the little general. I’ve got a full run-down on the contest, which until now was anonymous, over at my new Flickr page: check it!

Hey Dustin!
I really loved this team! I will admit to voting for yours all the way until the Blue Bloodz. (They had some great smaktalk). But I really enjoyed the process and the breakdown on your Flickr.
And Queen Melee was also killer!

Thanks, Bobby! I did notice your awful betrayal, made all the more cutting for the implicit comment on (sniff!) the non Bloodz smack. Although because my Arena Girl wasn’t in place at the beginning of the match–which all my smak talk was kinda tied to–the smak didn’t seem as cool.
Nice work yourself, by the way–the Boo’s were one of my favorite teams. Good luck with the animation!
