And so we come to the end of the Mars Remission Contest Entry storyline, not with a roar, but with a fizzle and cough. The appletini reference Stretch makes is a tip of the hat to Scrubs, one of the only sitcoms I’ve ever found truly funny.
In case you’re interested, my contest entry won third place overall (and missed second by only two points). You can see some other pictures and other entries in the contest here.
Slick seems to have found himself in a rather enviable position for most fellas. One can only hope he’s not going to step on his own tongue too much.
