Sorry about my slow replies - things that take more than a
few lines to answer often get left in the inbox for a
'later date when I have more time' as I frequently only
have a few minutes to maintain the group and quick post or
read a few mails.
This required a few more minutes to write so pardon the
delay!

Nice little animation here, though I would probably speed
up the speech a little. Feels a bit too slow, like the PC
is running wrong (1600 Mhz Pentium Mobile (~2200 P4 equiv)
shouldn't have that problem!) I'd consider adding a few
'wet drops' as well when ZZ is moving around. :-)

Can't suggest how to fix that specifically, but if you
build each frame set, I am sure furs would be happy to have
to just pull up the next file and watch the action. I'd
like to see you continue this project as what you have so
far looks good.

That's a shame to hear - had you tried animated GIF? I
will see if a few fellows I know who know a little more
about animation can give you some pointers.

Thank-you for your contribution. I hope you feel motivated
some time to do a little more. I'll see what (or who) can
I dig up for you and encourage your project and overcome
hurdles.

Ah! I was just thinking about those animations then. Been
tempted to have a go at any more of those? *prods in ribs*
Great work - glad to see you having another go.
Scrapper, Black Dragon, who may not be quick to answer, but
I will always get back to you!
