I'm not sure if this was supposed to be funny.

Just beautiful.

Pretty funny for something short.

You deserve more name recognition on here, and it's nice to see something with actual creativity. In addition, I really like how you took the silent film approach on this one.

Graphics: When it comes down to it, the animation is well done in spite of your style. Plus, I really loved the facial expression of the prisoner when he found out about what today meant. It seems that you draw with a mouse, and that does have its uses. However, if you don't have one, I recommend that you save up for a tablet.
Sound: There wasn't any music considering the silent film approach that you took. On the other hand, I really like how you used those old typewriter sounds. That added to the grim tone that was present.
Content: It is not easy mixing grim and funny together without the results being a total mess. What made this funny was the aforementioned facial expression. It may not be laugh riot, but still funny. Of course, while it may be nice for a cartoon so short to be good, it could have used a bit of elaboration on why that prisoner was sentenced to die. Then again, at least you made an original flash as always, which is commendable.

What's good about this:
-Great animation for a style that many consider out-of-place for animation
-Funny facial expressions
-Fitting sound effects
-Original
-Dark comedy done right
-Small filesize

What's bad about this:
-Could have used a bit more story development, but the humor made up for it.

Overall: Wooden Sneakers, I think another ten from me was needed.

one out of ten!

By leaving it black and white you added a beautiful, almost poetic atmosphere in this deep and dark, but still oddly calmishly brutal post-classic, pre-futuristic masterpiece.

Very interesting

Interesting concept. Nice art style. Sound could have been better. Sounded like someone typing in an office or something. Very short, but said a whole lot. I liked it.
