Good Luck, Robert. I been trying to do that for over a year and haven't made any headway. Major improvements, Gene, but Robert is a "take no prisoners" kind of a tutor.

You have created an extremely viable entity(s). Keep on keepin' on. Love the Wannabe's. :wub:

Mark, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy the strip(s). I don't know how much encouragement you get for your efforts, emotional and financial, but I want you to know the the Wannabe Pirates is one of my first computer stops as I begin my day. Every day. Sometimes even before the (gasp...) A:M Forums. Blasphemy, I know, but there it is. My CD will be released soon and if the cover isn't too risqué I'll talk to you about an add. Please, keep up the good work.

Here is our latest collaboration. Gene has upped his game once again! Spleengene Animations proudly presents.......(Drumroll............)........... "BUILD ME A BOAT"

I can't seem to shake this feeling that the name, David Simmons, and the term, meticulous, are quite often closely associated. Phenomenal work.

Looks like I'm a day late, But HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Anytime is the right time, Paul. Who knows, maybe it will give the CD a needed secondary sales boost when the video comes out. It's looking very good

As always, Paul, nice stuff. Here, and on the blog site. (No Susan Boyle? ) The CD is being sent to duplication in the next few days. Fishin' is on it.

John, Holmes actually did most of the work on the pool table, I just kinda extended it and added the legs. They are his balls. Go ahead somebody.......... I dare ya!

Looks muddy!

Happy Birthday, Martin! Alright now . . . .Everybody sing! . . . . . . . .Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuu. . . . . . . ..

I think you ARE a master.

Reminds me of a song I heard you sing once,

Just keeps getting gooder and gooder!

Ararat, enough's enough!

When running through TaoA:M a couple of years ago (Wow! That long ago!) I remember that same problem happening with Thom during that "lesson". I believe that it was inherently something in the 2001 rig. I posted on the forum and the most predominate reply was to try the Squetchy Sam rig and the 2008 rig when finished. the 2008 rig is now finished, Thanks Mark, and used quite often. As far as I know, the available rigs are: Squetchy Sam rig, 2008 Rig, Holmes' Lite Rig, and Anzovin's TSM. From my observation the most commonly used rigs lately are the Lite Rig and The 2008 Rig.

Great expressiveness, Gene. You are outdoing yourself on this one.

He's perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Gee! the one time I didn't guess Susan Boyle. . . wouldn't cha know.

Saw today's strip, great fun! Nice touch with just the eyeballs in the dark. I know it has been done before but it still caught me by surprise and was fresh and new all over again. You used it well. I didn't notice the aliens teeth in the strip. maybe it was just the dark closet.

Mark, I have become a fan, and Wannabe Pirates is a regular morning stop of mine along with this forum and facebook. Usually before I check the news. I appreciate your work and creativity and am enjoying the strip immensely. It is well, and professionally, done and should eventually bring you the dividends you desire and deserve. Thanks for doing the strip. P.S. One hour! Not 3 hours? OMG!

Nicely done, and quite an accomplishment. Especially considering the time element. Good story, good animation, and good production. Kudo's Sean.

applause, applause, applause with increased intensity, more applause! Nice touch, Great clip. Thanks Rob.

Hope it's a good one, Steve.
