Awesome work
I like the way you used gradient to highlight the skin. The animation is clean, straight to the point and punchline, and it's all less than 1mb. Hot stuff.
About MX2004, if you have MX, legally, then why would it cost $1000 to get 2004? Isn't it cheaper for you to upgrade? If you're not looking to sell your flash, then go for the student version. Or just hang tight for people to donate. Either way, good luck, and I hope to see more great cartoons. :)
