Nice lines...

The perspective of the crate looks odd to me...and the baby is not cute :P >:D

Other than that it's a well done piece as usually from you... :)

yeah, thats cool stuff! I like spiderman's pose. I agree with Fozzy about the baby, he looks more like a 3 year old. Smaller body, less hair is all it needs. Nice colors.

I don't get it either. It's nice to see an animated style on the forums.Good stuff

Nice animation style, although I wouldn't go pushing the limb elongation any further, or these people might end up with Rayman-style missing parts. The colors look less saturated than you'd expect from a cartoon drawing, was that intentional?

Although I don't recognize the other two characters (did PP and MJ have a kid?), I believe I get 'the message'. You mean that we shouldn't have to rely on imaginary heroes for role models? I agree, to a certain extent.

But also remember that imaginary, or otherwise 'legendary' characters have been a staple of human culture since Gilgamesh. When we have legendary heroes, no matter how real they are, if they embody ideals that people can follow in their own lives, then they are good and worthwhile.

Without Superman, for example, Christopher Reeve would have been a less culturally significant, if no less admirable, figure after his accident and after his passing. People of my generation keep saying how much they associate Reeve with Superman. The fact that he not only portrayed Superman, but embodied his ideals, validates the fictional character as worthwhile. And Reeve succesfully blurred the line between Life and Art, making them imitate each other.

Ahh, but your stuff is cool anyway!
