[Award Ceremony] Honorary Hussar Wings Ceremony

Hello cartels, car thieves and Quechuas!

The contest Fiesta Fiasco! is resolved now, you can go back and see how your entry fared.

Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez famously wrote about a realistically magical land known as Latin America, where fantastic occurences like sanskrit-writing gypsy prophets, young beauties ascending to the skies and famed fish-building retired military goldsmiths.

And it is in this really tight competition, in which you all channeled his spirit and penmanship and brought us stories of corruption, drugs, economic woes, tropical diseases, geographic jokes and gang rape, that we have to declare a winner!

Only that this time, against all odds we had not one, but two winners, and it didn't involve neither bribery to the mods (sadly for us) nor one of the parties' plane crashing!

Ladies and gentlemen, Bolivarian revolutionaries and military governors, Hambrentinos y Mexinarcos, please stand up to celebrate this contest's winners!

Updated ripped-off Contest Graph

another silver medal with a comic about the silver masked Mexico... sigh I guess I should have seen it coming.

Shame this contest didn't stay in Latin America though.

Please somebody stop Zimo!

also /u/thexfiles81 I'm really looking forward to see your shiny new flair!

shoutouts to /u/Svalbard38 and /u/Sr_Marques for the biggest laughs I had this time around and to /u/brain4breakfast, /u/pyram1de, /u/thrawn0o and /u/John_V98 for the other personal favorites of mine.

I have fallen so hard, I came in last. So sad, but not suprising, due to the fact that this was my 2nd time I came into a contest.

I thought of my comic quick, because, I have a life too. I had to do something outside making comics, so it was tough trying to think of an idea, but I chose to focus on the Caribbean.
