[Please Send Tell: 0.1]

Better than expected! The animation is very lazy, but the voices and sound quality are good and the writing is sharp. I look forward to seeing more.

I look forward to making more!

[Batman Hates Bronies]

Great work. You turned left at the end joke; I thought for sure it'd be a Super Best Friends Forever ref. Nicely done.

[Romney Killed My Family]

Great sound work, and nice technique on the drifting camera -- a political ad staple nowadays. You got the feel just right!

[Polly Otter]

Very stupid, and I mean that in the best possible way. I applaud your dedication to warming up, and cooling down. And honestly, if she went to high school with the sun, she's probably too old for him. Great work!

[Pencilmation #26]

As these shorts get further and further away from storylines that makes logical linear sense, they get more and more fantastic in every sense. This particular thematic experimentation is filled with hilarity.

This reminds me of cartoons from the 1920s, when animators were far more willing to use the drawn media to mess with viewers' perceptions for a joke. Great work!

[Three Skins Without Men]

Warped and abstract, I'm impressed that in this often random work your narratives are always far from abstracted. This is finely crafted work, artful and thoughtful, a dreamscape that stops just sort of demanding contemplation -- if only because its facets reflect so much nonsense and obvious illogic as to make it more of a stern but polite request.

That these dreams are often horrors gives them a gritty tension throughout, no matter what is actually happening. These are descents with thinly veiled threats of terror and vague intimations of beauty that may never appear, with no Virgil to direct or explain to us. In every place we are bewildered in the literal sense: cast to wandering in an unknown land, which in this case still seems at times terrifyingly familiar.

Fascinating work. Art in every sense.

[Megapope]

With its excellent battle sequences, this is certainly one of the best cyborg Jesus Pope animations I have ever seen. This whole enterprise is sick, stupid, and very original, and you owned it 100%. I was thinking of giving it a four until I heard the Megapope Theme Song over the end credits -- you went that extra mile, and I totally appreciate it. My highest regards.

[This One Time...]

Usually it's the other way around, but this is one time when the animation outperformed the audio. Your story's nothing special, but these purposefully ugly and dingy visuals are fascinating! Your logo is great too. Total pass from me.
