Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

MAN OH MAN. I think it shows that the quality of animation went down a bit. I should have taken zeurel's advice and NOT be distracted by vidja gayums. (but... tf2 has hats!)

SO YEAH. Here's my second round submission for this year's TOFA.

PS: He's a Jerboa.

Also music is from http://lapfoxtrax.com/

lol

the gems a people who been unfairly convicted nice

nice?

the endig was kind of a letdown, because it ended so abruptly.

Sweet

Realy like it. Good job

Ha. Brilliant.

The style, colour, music and animation were all great. Hell, it's good enough to make me leave a review after not reviewing for about 2 years.

It's artistic, funny and has an excellent twist at the end making the viewer beg for more. Definitely shows off your style from The Game Show Fantasy. As a lover of demo/chiptune/mod etcetera, I can tell you I enjoyed every second of the music and how you combined the music into animation.

I look forward to seeing more work from you.
Good luck in TOFA.

Best TOFA entry yet

As you said the time constraints show, as a lot of the animation sequences weren't as polished as they are in some of your work. Nevertheless this is oozing with your trademark style.
Despite a lot of your work being a homage to 20s/30s animation, your work has a slightly different flavour. Your shapes are tighter, with more of a Chuck-Jones-y mix of sharp and round going on, rather than the more traditional 'sausagey' look. Like how tightly the skin creases around all your characters' lips, and how a lot of the circles and curves in your shapes have a distinctive 'skew' to them. And yet the characters you apply it to, even when you're not trying to homage old cartoons, are made out of these nice traditional circles and sausages. It's really unusual to see someone who designs characters the way you do while using the proportions you use, and my god it works fucking well.

Plus, your main character is a Jerboa. Shit yeah! Animation history and zoology are two great passions of mine, and so there are few things that I FUCKING LOVE as much as seeing less common animals done all Oswald-style.

Love you man
make more toons for me.
