Two men, each the polar opposite of the other, have an emotional connection in the most unexpected way at the bus stop.

"Now this on the other hand."

date: April 8, 2008

I rather enjoyed this one, except for when it ended so abruptly, it could've gone on just a little longer.

Author's Response:

It really couldn't have. The abrupt ending is pretty important to the plot. Unless you wanted to watch them stand there doing nothing for a bit, which I think might have actually been better.

Anyway thanks, this was a pretty experimental little work. I think it went over most people's heads, haha.

"I like the concept!"

date: April 6, 2008

Nice work man! I think it could have been cleaner visually, but other than that, great stuff.

Author's Response:

Thanks, and yeah it definitely could have been cleaner. Honestly, there are a load of things left to work out before I'd say it was "good" but it was a fun excerise.

"I liked it alot"

date: April 6, 2008

you got a nice handle on facial expression.. its a bit.."morphy" the way the frames sorta blend into each other but I think you will polish that off with time.

fun stuff man keep up the good work.

Author's Response:

Thanks. I suppose if I spent more than 2 days on it, and did any planning at all, it wouldn't be morphy, but I'm a fag and I rushed it.

It's cool you like it though, haha.

"Better than I could do..."

date: April 2, 2008

but then again, I don't even own/possess flash. Overall I thought the story was boring, and lacking. I understand the background, but I still don't like it. I did like the character design. The animation was interesting, the camera movement was jerky and annoying. This is simply my opinion, I don't claim to be an aficionado, I'm just giving you my 2 cents as a viewer.

Author's Response:

And I appreciate your 2 cents. This cartoon wasn't going to be for most people, and I was aware of that when I submitted it. Very much something oriented to a niche audience.

To be honest to story wasn't even the point, it was a place holder. The point of this is interaction, that desire for some human contact even when it's awkward and misplaced. I hoped that how quickly the fellow in the red shirt revealed his girlfriend was pregnant with a child not his own would convey that need. I suppose it didn't.

The camera movement was overdone, I admit, but it was jerky for a reason, one I won't delve into at the moment.

Thanks for the review, and I'm glad that you managed to find at least some enjoyment in this.
