I just want to say that, as one of the judges, the people in this category should know that it was VERY hard fought!
The discussion was intense and we absolutely hammered out every detail before we settled on Fight.
We also raised the point you mentioned slim red, that parody and tribute are not always the same thing, but we had to deal with the categories as they were handed too us.
Congratulations to Fight, but also to the other competitors. This was FAR from a foregone conclusion.
Why are parody & tribute linked together they have nothing in common? Its hard to except that we lost but I'm going to start a new comic thats a tribute to Michael Jackson & will see who wins next year. Shouldnt their reward have to read best Parody/tribute comic? How is a simple humble parody comic like ours supposed to compete against a a juggernaut of great art & story tribute comic like fight? Next year I demand this category be easier to win!!!!
Great job on the presentation PyThomas and drunkduck!
Wow! Our strategy of zero promotion worked! I'll let mlai handle the speeches... He did a heroic effort keeping the whole thing together.
As for me, of course, I thank the big guy upstairs.

Nice. I think the Tenacious D original was in itself somewhat of a parody of music, which is what makes this even better. :) Congrats to FIGHT!
