At first I thought the first few pages of posts were slightly... wrong, but I forgot to consider that that was three years ago. Still, however, there are people here who urge Tom to ban the clock crew. even if strawberry clock broke a lot of the rules, does not mean that it's justifiable to get rid of all of the clock crew just because they feature the clock crew in their movies. we'd loose so many good artist (including Synj) if you people had your way and we went on a stupid witch hunt such as that.
putting that aside, strawberry clock put many through constant hardships, but he also did a beuitiful thing for new grounds by giving it a mascot that was and still is upsurd and recognizable today. a cheery little charactor who is featured in more flash animation than anyone can count. And it is that Strawberry clock that is worshipped on newgrounds, not the author.
Does that make sense of course It doesn't; it's art.
Tricky the clown is also a thing to discuss. Granted, he's disturbing uncalled for and just wrong, but I think there's sort of an Andy Kofman Feel to this clown. if anything, I never see this guy coming. I still HATE the living guts out of him.
oh, and here's a little animated gif I made (I computer can't handle the software for making flash so I just make gifs for now)
