Honestly I'm surprised my 3rd attempt failed.. I'd like to say a word about the comments
"This looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old"
Yep, I'm no artist. I'm pretty good with a pencil and paper, but NOT THAT GOOD. The mouse I had wasn't very sensitive, it was very hard to get things going. Plus most of the time I was trying to understand how to use flash.. there were points everything would disappear and I won't know why and I wouldn't understand what was going on. I tried to make a button.. I followed the instructions.. but something went wrong and it didn't accept. I googled the error message and there was no resolve. I still have a LOT to learn. Perhaps if I took flash seriously I'd buy something or take a class, lucky I don't. My first passion is music... ironically all my flashes don't have any!

"Very few jokes/plotlines are of high enough caliber to make this kind of scribbledy-style-oinkery worth the 30 seconds it took to watch it."

LOL, i love the wording of this. Very good!

"Dude... That Sucked. Very badly... Try drawing straight lines more often."

... I know there is some sorta joke here regarding the straight lines.. I just don't get it...

"I didn't like the voice acting. It was very weak, but not in a funny oblivious way"

I'd like to think I'm a good voice actor! But yeah.. I guess I didn't really bring my best. Truly a big problem was the sound quality. A lot of the recording was done with my built in computer mics... which have nearly lost any use at all. The 2nd half of it was done with a great professional USB mic which .. really sounded very different.

NOT TO SAY that I'm blaming something else for my bad voice acting or animation! But a little bit of everything shall take the blame.

My diction with the alligator was very poor. My mom couldn't understand it. I did try, but the product wasn't up to par.

"Hey, I'll be be honest, although I didn't laugh, I did smile."

This certainly made the whole thing worth it.. BEST COMMENT EVVVER!

I gotta say I honestly liked everyone's comment. They were mostly helpful and they all certainly helped me! I thank everyone who commented before it was blamed to death. 1/10 will be my best score to date.
