Not another comic dub!

This is a comic dub, although you're calling it a 'Comic book with SOUND'. Same thing.

Months ago, I made a thread complaining about uploading comic dubs to Newgrounds. I said that they generally take less time and effort than a regular animation made at a similar skill level. Even less if they didn't create the comic themselves and just used a pre-existing one. As a result, the Movie Guidelines were changed to reflect that.

"Comic Dubs: This is an evolving area. If you are simply adding audio over static images from an existing comic, please refrain from sharing it here. If you have created a motion comic that introduces elements of animation along with audio, you can share it here but only if the artist themselves has an NG account and is co-authored on the piece. Please rate your entry appropriately; this category has been under much scrutiny after several misrated Adult comic dubs won daily awards. Rate your entry Adult if it contains nudity and sexual situations."

while Tom Fulp said:
"Comic Dubs should require the comic artist to be co-authored with an NG account and also require the "Opt out of Awards" box to be checked."

So, how does this Foamy 'Audio Comic' stand up? Well, there's barely any lewd stuff in this, and you pretty much created everything here, the comic itself, the audio, and most of the voices, with some from Dawn, a voice actor you worked with for many years, but I didn't really see a lot of motion.
I assume you've opted out of awards in this episode, since you said you opted out in the first episode:
"Also opting out of awards here on this as I kinda don't feel like it's "animation" or whatever. :P"

Also, I want to point out that you just started doing that when you reposted the old Foamy episodes here from 2018-2020 and got backlash for constant Daily award winning. And with these 'audio comics' skirting past the Guidelines, I could see this getting messy at some point down the line.

This won't make you cry!

This is cute and was animated very well, but at the end of the day, this is still a 8 second clip of what I believe is external audio. Pretty much a dime a dozen on YouTube or TikTok and unless it's super viral, you'd most likely forget about it once the next one comes out.

Also:
- The little guy appears to have a face on both sides of their head. And also isn't redrawn.
- Stick arms and legs also saves some extra time when animating.

Not really '4.17 star' material in my opinion In general, anything less than 10 seconds aren't recommended.

I voted 1 instead. And I watched it first.

This is just a public service announcement telling people to not vote without watching the movie, especially 0.

Clicking the button leads to Tricky the Clown, which according to the flash, was added later after the voting problem was fixed.

Still, doesn't change the fact this flash has no other values aside from the outdated message and that damn clown now!

Nice frame by frame animation, especially the fight scenes, but I personally find it weird seeing Frisk with big jigglin' breasts.

Frisk's official gender is not an uncommon question for the Undertale community. It's not officially revealed in-game. A quick Google search for 'Undertale frisk gender' shows that everyone's completely divided.
Case in point, this Gamespot poll (which also includes Chara). Out of 286 votes, 29.37% say Frisk is male, 32.17% say Frisk's female, and 38.47% said non-binary.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/180989-undertale/73144451

Some have also said Toby Fox purposely made Frisk's gender up to interpretation, so that each player can come to their own conclusion, which I feel makes sense here, since the player (Aygeex) decided Frisk is a girl. Or non-binary, They gave Frisk boobs.

However, what isn't up to interpretation as much as much is Frisk's age, of which the majority would say either 8, 12, 14, but never over 18, well at least those who don't draw horny fanart on [[Hyperlinked Blocked]].com. One reviewer here said 'frisk is 12'.
But most likely, Aygeex probably aged them up specifically for this animation series (yes, they made multiple of these) because... uhh....

Yep, this the score's being boosted by horny jail escapees just here to see Frisk's boobs jiggle. Should've been obvious. 3,500 views and no frontpage, and one's already negatively reacted to this. 'Nuff said!

Looks pretty messy.

When I first saw this on YouTube when it came out, I thought this was a great subversion to the typical deathbed/defbed video formula, notably Peter wasn't actually dying that much.

However, I did notice some inconsistencies with the way outlines were drawn, as some of them were wobbly and lacked anti-aliasing. This was from the other animator who worked on it, which you responded with:

"yeah, this animation was originally started by another animator, but I ended up redoing pretty much everything, though some of the bad outline work remained due to time constraints."

It also got age restricted and an alternate version with ketchup covering up the blood (albeit poorly) was uploaded. As of writing it's not age restricted anymore. This might've been foreshadowed when Bob from Bob's Burgers gets shot.

With all things considered, not too shabby and I look forward to what you'll post next.

It's a nice, cute, and quick celebration of 900 followers. You even did the research and made them all 5 different species of frog. but when 900 followers you reach, make mistakes, you will.

I recommend not using video game music in your animations. It can potentially get it taken down (on Newgrounds at least, where the rules are strict about it)

Literally the same movie.

It does very little to set itself apart from previous Scooby Roo videos, aside from the backgrounds and the context, that's about it. It gets old very quick.

Another common criticism is with the animation. Yes, it looks very clean and looks like it has some skill and effort put into it, but so does Family Guy (the modern seasons), and the countless shows that ripped that off in the past decade.
It may be a little bit smoother than these clones, which all have a whole lot more than two people working on them, but to me it still looks uninspiring and could turn some people away.

It's serviceable, but I feel the focus is supposed to be on the jokes and writing, of which this is 20 seconds long and based on the same "What if Scooby Doo was a kangaroo in Australia" concept you used over 11 times already.

I suggest not only to try working on longer videos, but also try looking at other independent web cartoons for influence, such as Sublo and Tangy Mustard (the creator has also done some writing for Bojack Horseman), as just one example out of many on just Newgrounds alone.

I'm pretty sure Bandicam didn't exist in 1988.

You didn't read the description

Great song and animation as always. I’m noticing more use of the line tool rather than the brush tool to create outlines. 1-2 years ago this was only for backgrounds but now it’s being used on character models as well.

Since I primarily use the brush tool when drawing in Flash, it’s a teeny bit off in a lot of cases, such as various Flash cartoons from early 2000s, including a few of your own from 2004-2005, such as Pretty Fishy.

For an animated cartoon parody of Super Mario in 2001, not too shabby.

The visuals, although good for it’s time, don’t really hold up very well, especially in HD. Could use a lot of cleanup. I believe some of this was traced from official Mario artwork, to keep it accurate to the source material.

Speaking of source material, this is based on the Super Mario cartoons, mostly the SMB3 iteration. In this, Luigi takes over the Mushroom Kingdom, betraying his brother. This was before even LegendaryFrog hit the scene.

If you’ve watched anything from the late Randy Solem, who was prominent around the same time, you should check this gem out.

Speak now or forever hold your peace.
