Thanks for the front page!

Thanks for the reviews, I'll try and respond to them all.

This is a really light hearted cartoon.
The style and humour that I was going for is like the Merry Melodies cartoons like Road Runner.

This is the longest that I have worked on a cartoon, it took me a month, but it was worth it not to rush it.

The music is Cab Calloway - the Scat Song

Enjoy.

Wow that was excellent, you really captured the style that you were aiming for, if my flash were anything like this than I would be overjoyed. I hope that you make more in this style because this is deffinately where your talent lies. Short and snappy and very sweet. Well done man.

Author's Response:

Thanks! I have been continuing in the sort of retro style because that's where the best inspiration comes from.

"Pretty sweet"

date: January 27, 2006

It was a nice short cartoon that didnt go on and on and on ruining itself in the process. I really enjoyed the style of "50's television" and to see something different on newgrounds for once. The only problem is that when i read the reviews, i noticed that you know jackshit about taking constructive critisism....

here's a lil something about that....

when someone gives you critisism, they are doing it to see better cartoons and to give you advice. Sure, you can barrage the noobs with your fucking verbal abuse but try keeping it to just the rant reviews. If someone's giving you advice on how to improve then take it.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the comments.

I can take constructive critisism... and I really don't think you can judge whether I can take it or not, because the reviews I've responded to negatively haven't seen constructive at all.

Or when you say 'constructive', do you mean people who expect a cartoon to go a certain way, so suggest a fight scene. Me not adding a fight scene isn't an error, so it shouldn't be marked down for that. If that was a suggestion, then fine, I appreciate it, but if they think the cartoon is worth nothing because I didn't do it the way they would have preferred, even though it didn't effect the quality, then I'm not going to be friendly in the response.

I'm not gonna pander to some 13 year olds who want a certain kind of cartoon. What I will do, is listen to people who are generally helpful and suggesting ways to improve. Not change; improve.

Go back and read the responses you don't agree with, and you'll probably find they're not as helpful as they appear.

Thanks for the review and the compliments.

I Thought It Was Quite Good - And Was Thrilled (And A Little Tingly) Over The Use Of Cab Calloway! I Think That Made It EXTRA Special! I Love It!

"???"

date: October 2, 2005

Dude, was that s'posed to be funny? Yeah, a guy gets robbed, jumps out a window and beats some robber offscreen, walking away happy. WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT???

Author's Response:

Yeah, man. I'm with you, pal.
Like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", the guy goes in, takes 'em out on a boat, gets some shock therapy, BUT WHAT WAS THE POINT?

And "Schindler's List", thousands of Jews killed, Schindler saves 1000 of them, BUT SERIOUSLY, WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME?

Idiot.
