BIIIG file. Keep refreshing if you don't see it at first.

Entry for *RockMiyabi's Valentine's Day contest, submitted here on dA about two hours before the deadline. You guys have no idea how long it took me to make this. Noooo idea. If I get anything less than third place with this thing, I'm going to be very upset and will most likely trip some old ladies in retaliation. Better tell that to your judges, RockMiyabi.

I am the proud supporter of the Elecman/Plastic Leg pairing. The leg's name is Henrietta, by the way. People were expecting a conventional pairing for the entries. I did something better instead. C'mon, who's with me? Let's pair Elecman up with our favorite plastic legs.

Oh, and no matter what nonexistent subtext you find in the second-to-last panel, it's not yaoi. I just thought it'd be funny. I was trying to do a dialog-less comic that practices showing rather than telling, aside from the occasional rebus bubble that's necessary to explain what's going on. Without that first rebus bubble, it would have been like Crashman was jealous of Elecman's newfound... girlfriend. Oh sure, it might be funnier that way, but it just ain't Crashman-like to me.

EDIT: Forgot to put in the "House of Thongs" sign that the sumo wrestler's running towards. It's fixed now.

EDITS NUMBAH TOO: DUUUUDE FIRST PLACE FUCK YEA!

No words really...and having no words in the comic is done really well. The madness of it all...still liked that one panel though.

The coloring is WOW especially the flaming chickens.
:iconmikubasen:
I like Elecman in the panel of the springboard, he looks... ehm... Okay, I think he looks just extremly cute in that panel. Maybe because he kinda have a :3 expression.
But it's nice that Crashman cares for Elecman's sanity, not like he has that much anyway.

Poor Elecman. He finally gets some romance and it runs out on him. Then Crashman punches him out.

You pulled off the no-dialogue technique very well. I hope you win! :hug:

Dude, Plastic Leg totally reminds me of the Leg Lamp in the movie "A Christmas Story"...

"Hey... Fra-gi-le. Must be Italian!"
"It's English."

XDD That's actually where I got the inspiration for the Plastic Leg! It was originally gonna be a lamp to keep in touch with the whole electricity thing, but I thought naaah, that's not weird enough. Then I wanted to do a leg lamp, but then I thought I'd be ripping off A Christmas Story (and I would be). Then I changed it to just a leg. Weirder than a lamp, huh?

I love A Christmas Story. "You'll shoot your eye out, kid."

Yes, it's sad because Elecman/Plastic Leg is LIKE MY OTP GAIZ! Crashman's a jerk. D:

Thanks! I hope I win, too. ;_; Because this took me... many many hours and the first all-nighter I've ever done.

I thought Elecman looked cute, too. For me, it was because of how his eyes were kinda crossed.

Oh no, Elecman has a lot of sanity. It's just drowned out by his... Elecman-ness. I guess even a guy like Crashman can feel sorry for people if they're sad.

Phew, thanks! I think it was worth the all-nighter I pulled to get this finished. Madness is my bread and butter. And I had a feeling you'd enjoy that panel, regardless... XD

I used gradients to color this time. I think the flaming chickens turned out well, too. I looked at them and I was all "holy crap those chickens are on fire!"

This. Is. Great~! Honestly, I love your interpretation of Elecman, he's SO silly, XD.

OMG!! And this pairing is so OTP!!! I mean, LOOK AT THE LOVE~!!! X3 ...stupid Crash has to ruin it, though, XP. This is epic, and deserves a sequel in my opinion, XD.

Also, I think you pulled off the "no diallog" part, :D. I want to try it now, :3.
