Good job!
Wow. I must say this animation suprised me, and in a good way ;).
I hadn't seen any of your work, and I'm by nature skeptical of all authors i come by, having been around newgrounds for a pretty long time now.
I like your style of drawing, its simple and pretty well drawn. The facial expressions were also understandable despite the beard and all. Well done :).
As for the animation, it was smooth and slick. Barely any jerkiness.
The sound effects fit in very well with the whole animation. (Loved your choice for when the stick was about o break lol :D) And yeah, i didn't turn the volume down cus i was wearing headphones. But i can see (or hear rather :P) why someone whose not looking at the vid could get the wrong impression lolz.
I liked your ideas for the myth (as i was already familiar with it) and found it quite humorous. Must say the end and the credits were what made me laugh the most ;).
All in all. I think you did a great job and you get a 10/10, 5/5 from this critic :).
Keep up the good work! ^_^
