Construct2 is pretty similar to GameSalad but personally I think it's a little easier to use. It supports lots of plugins too. One being Spriter:

Check out Construct2. It's all html5 based and you can render to many platforms. It has a visual coding language that's very easy to pick up.

That's great news! Also, you might consider cell phone distribution...if the content is protected. I seem to remember someone posting around here looking for content. Not sure if it's good or not though.
Those look great! I agree about the roughness of the texturing. What about the term "Virtual Puppetry"?
Edit: Um...who's the blond chick? I don't remember her.
Good start Mark! I'm thinking some of the moves are a little floaty. And Flemm saying he laughs at danger is just crying out for some snappy hand gestures. But I'm just an observer.
