And finally, getting around to the last part of this massive 10th anniversary celebration, we end with the Humor Category results.

This year’s theme was “Girouette and Shooting Star Rockman’s Romantic Delivery Service.” In which entrants had to come up with their own funny delivery of romantic gifts, along with a company slogan to sell those services.

We had a total of 18 entries for this category, another delightfully wonderful showing! As always, with humor it can be a bit subjective, and the quality of your drawings are an added bonus, but all of these entries are guaranteed to give you a hearty laugh or chuckle, and maybe tug on your heart strings, too! As is common with this category, comics seem to be the in-thing, and some of these entries are quite extensive.

Just like the Talent entries, I’ll reveal the Top 3 winners first, and then the remaining entries will be after the cut. Again, thanks to @annamariacoppi for help with judging. Commentary from at least one of us on your art will also be seen below.

Each artist’s name will link to a (hopefully) larger version I’ve uploaded, that will work until you guys upload your art on your own pages, followed by their tumblr handle or deviantArt page, if applicable. If a link is broken or I screwed up somewhere, let me know. This was a lot to verify!

Without further ado, here are the results!

1.) Wintesm (Wintesm) - Roll’s Delivery Service:

AnnaMaria said: One of the few I actually laughed out loud while reading. I love the quirky and simple drawings! It helps sell the jokes. The whole thing was very sweet and charming! I especially like Dr Wily randomly popping in telling her to go away, as if he constantly does that whenever he sees her.

Miyabi said: Nothing says love like a pit of spikes on your card. While there are probably just as many cutesy tender moments as their are jokes and gags, overall, I felt this was the most complete and strongest entry of the bunch. From Ice Man getting trolled, to ‘get off my lawn’ Wily, you can’t help but smile from panel to panel!

2.) Borockman (borockman) - Sigma & Nana’s Dreamland MK-IV:

AnnaMaria said: Very funny over all! The twist ending sealed it for me.
Took a bit long to get the end, but I like the random small jokes thrown in. Who knew he had a Bachelors in Fortress Design!?

Miyabi said: Oh man, from happy-go-lucky, more-powerful-than-a-super-saiyan-god Giro, to the crazy expressions of Nana and Sigma, there were plenty of panels that gave me a good laugh. Gotta wonder after all these years, despite it almost finally happening here, will they ever have a meaningful moment together outside of dreamland?

3.) Papillon the Pirate (PapillonthePirate​) - Curry of Love:

Miyabi said: I love the thought of Yahoot’s print ad with roses and curry bringing in the business, and the rest of the WWW delivering it and a cheesy singing telegram message in Cupid outfits! To me, this was one of the more creative takes on the category guidelines. Netto is so oblivious to who the curry is from, yet he can remember Match tried to burn his house! LOL 

See the rest, after the cut!


- Bassrocks (bassrocks​) - Tron x Volnutt

image

Miyabi said: The great thing about an army of Servbots is you’ve got a lot of cheap labor for a delivery service. Volnutt is not that enthused about the attention, however. Love the “call me” note Tron has for him!

- Chocoorchid (@chocoorchid​) - Ice Man x Plum

image

Miyabi said: Poor Ice Man, even with his best laid plans, his minions end up trampling him and nearly ruining the gifts for Plum! Good thing he’s so cool under pressure and managed to recover. Very cute tale!      

- Creator of Worlds (thecreatorofworlds​) - Dr. Light’s Convenient Capsule Delivery

image

Miyabi said: Doc, you’ve got robots to pull heavy things. Don’t be so stubborn! Then again, it’s probably part of his training in the Way of Hado, and why he can pull off superhuman martial arts skills even in the afterlife. Those capsules have to get to those obscure, out-of-reach places somehow! Powerful design, effective advertising!

- Dark-Dullahan (Dark-Dullahan) - Kiki’s Roll’s Delivery Service

image

Miyabi said: When the Knight is away in battle, he has to find a way to deliver romantic greetings from afar. And with Roll’s holographic message system, it’s almost like he’s in the room with Centaur!

- Fenril-Huayra (Fenril-Huayra) - Express Delivery

Miyabi said: Oh man, again with the continuity! As usual with your comics, so much to love, from Giro being so nonchalant that it leads to him becoming a Boo, random song lyrics and one-liners, the return of characters and scenes from the past, and the fanservice! Needs moar fanservice! Always a delight to see what zaniness these characters go through.

- Hotbloodedmachine (@hotbloodedmachine​) - Tron x Volnutt

image

Miyabi said: It’s my Tron in a box! Roll’s expression totally makes this pic, although I think all three are about to get wrenched, with how reckless she might be swingin’ and flingin’ it. Giro knows it, and just wants to get the heck out!

- Hyperbole1729 (hyperbole1729​) - Hornet ‘n Honey

image

AnnaMaria said: I think the whole idea that they have to advertise the flowers are pollinated by robot bees is amazing. That little touch adds a lot.
I especially liked that he acted so surprised by his own gift! Like... what did he "forget", or something??

Miyabi said: This pic is close enough to becoming reality, now that we have drones that can help with pollination! Now we just need bee-themed robot masters to run shops... It’s a really cute 4-Koma, and Gemini again proves you can’t love another if you don’t love yourself first!

- Iris-Clou (@iris-clou) - Postal Pups

image

Miyabi said: These doggos like to lick you as much as they do the envelopes they deliver. We rate their skills 14/10. Super cute idea, and seeing that giant wolfy-lion just tackle Zero has to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Except Forte’s. LOL Your stylistic interpretations of these characters are just so unique!

- Iris-Sempi (Irischroma​) - Something Vile is Knocking at your Door:

Miyabi said: From bathrobe Sigma, to Vile skipping away, and finally the opening of the gift, I was cracking up. Really would love to see this touched up and finished one day!

- Light Labs (lightlabs​) - Sexy Robot Legs:

image


image

Miyabi said: Splashy looks like she’s going to kill Wily for sending these body attachments. That pervert doctor has been watching too much Dukes of Hazard again, adding short Daisy Dukes like that! Shouldn’t have told Ursula she’d give up her voice in order to visit the land...

- Myan - Forte finds a Friend:

image

Miyabi said: Had a good laugh at Roll becoming Rick. I think I just got Rick Rolled again! Poor Forte will never find love if he can’t even accept his own personal minion friend. I think that Met is about to be returned to sender.

- Njo-ku (Njo-ku) - eBonne:

image

Miyabi said: Clever spin on a popular real service, although this one might be a little too explosive for even the delivery crew. For Denise’s sake, I hope that Servbot #2 accidentally damaged the contents carrying it, before she brings it inside! Look at the poor dude sweat and shake!

- Owl-Bound (Owl-Bound) - Snake x Toad

image

Miyabi said: 50 Shades of Green? Gyro makes drones obsolete, and less likely to be pulled out of the sky by Siberian tigers, as the delivery boy. But poor Toad was delivered to the one place I think he’d least like to be. He’s the delivery I feel the most sorry for, out of all the entries!

- Press Start (PstART​) - This Delivery Has Been Cancelled:

image

Miyabi said: Luna, quit hoarding all the good stuff! This is why we haven’t been able to get nice things over the past 10 years of this fandom. It’s all the rich prez’s fault! Don’t drop ‘em Geo, they’re all too valuable!

- Tabby (digitallyfanged​) - Tron gets her man:

image

Miyabi said: After tying together some really, really long cables, we can even deliver things straight from the moon’s surface to you! Good job Kobun Krew, you’ve done something mortal men refused to accomplish! Or space is really pink and sparkly, and we just refuse to believe it.

And with this, you have finally seen like 60+ entries with 100′s of characters and images you guys have helped create to celebrate both Megaman, Valentine’s Day, and 10 years of my ‘lil contest hosting. Couldn’t have done it without you all. While there’s no way I can really top this year, thanks again to all of you for participating over the years and making this one quite special! :)

Wow, someone beat me on the Kiki's Delivery Service parody.  Can't say I'm mad 'cause it's pretty cool and cute.  Congrats to them. :)
