[A Pennyless Fort Knox]

A passable effort

Your timing isn't anywhere near as sharp as Knox's, but this was okay. I'd like it more if it wasn't just complaining. If you want to point out that someone's work is lame, you should produce something better than that person is able to. The solution to bad art is not to complain, but to make good art. Your art was not as good as the original here -- not to say that you -couldn't- produce something better. But this is just okay.

HauptmannGurken responds:

Okay... we made this in like an hour. Knox sez he makes his stuff in like days... Hmmm... can someone say... SLOW?!

[Lord Of The Joints Ep:2]

Very bad indeed

And I usually like Clock cartoons. The sound quality was lame, and the dialog was not only badly timed but cut in and out at weird places. There was practically no actual movement in this toon -- and come on, how hard would that be? They're freakin' -Clocks-! You didn't even bother to put in the "talking arrow" so I could tell who was saying what in your lengthy, droning, motionless dialog scenes -- and I really needed it, since all the voices were exactly the same. All in all, a very poor effort. Shame on you for making me like Clocks less.

Unknown-Clock responds:

sorry but like i stated i will tie it all together in the third and ill ad more motions fights and stuff it will be when i get bitten by a snake and needing to go to the hospital and im going to add th eintro fron god smack voodoo in it

[S.A.M.V. p2: - Channel 53]

It's cool, man

I'm impressed by the animation, writing, and timing, and even more that you wrote some of the music. This was really entertaining, and I look forward to the next one! Your work has given me the strength to watch much crappier Flashes and still retain hope.

BaconMask responds:

LOL Im glad that ya liked it!

We're here to provide a service, people!

[Clayguy and the Duck]

Only okay

But I really liked the noise the duck made. That gets you the pass from me! Hope to see more from you, especially if the duck returns. I loves the duck.

mongwriter responds:

Ya! He he...

[Phones - Episode 2]

The truth hurts

I totally enjoyed this. I think your cartoon really is good, and I'm not just giving it a high score because I worked for several years in a call center. Long, long years.

My one suggestion: Make a button to shut off the preloader music. It got kind of annoying.

Kid-Eternity responds:

You're not the first to mention the preloader music, but you are the first to mention the button to mute it... good thinking, I'll be sure to do that for the next one!

[Tutorial Mix]

A good idea

But it really could have used more examples of how the things look once they're implemented, rather than just descriptions of how to do things. Only two of them actually showed you what you got. Good on ya for your public service, though.

m0hawk responds:

Thanks. If it doesn't get on here then I'll use the examples of what they look like once implemented.

[The Nail]

It's just a bunch of stuff

And it's not really interesting stuff. And it's the same stuff over and over. Just grabbing a bunch of jpegs off the net isn't the same as doing a Flash animation. And, you did nothing to make me think this band was cool with your work. Videos are supposed to make the band look better.

m0hawk responds:

Its hard to make a music video for a band like that AND with it being so long. I ran out of ideas!

[A Christmas Carol]

The reason for the season

This is a charming and interestingly designed version of the old story! While not a comedy piece, that kid on the street is hilarious. I'm filled with Christmas spirit!

shagrat responds:

Thank you. Enjoy your holiday.
