I just added sound to this and a guy waving at the end...So, if you have
been here to see it, you might want to try it again just for fun.

Thanks llizard for the waving guy idea! *S*

Naw,The villain trips and gets stuck and then the hero fumbles at the
knot and they all get it.Plus the train gets derailed and goes smashing into
a nearby preschool,turns out the train was carying fuel tankers and grenades.
But i dont think i have the patients to do all that just yet. :)

I guess I can. I know it's wrong to wish this, but I do wish everyone
had their screen size set higher. There is much more out there in the
world to see when using the big picture. But I also realize not everyone
can do that for all kinds of reasons. 

Sometimes, it just gets frustrating when creativity gets trampled by
limits. But hey, we do deal in a limited art form (limited number of
characters). *S*

Fantastic!!

But may I suggest that you make the "When the train stops...push play to
hear it!" smaller? (so that the whole thing appears on one screen)


Now, you have to make a new one with a distressed damsel being tied to
the tracks by a dastardly devil,
                           ,,,,
        "", &&&           <_` ,, '`.
        / && * >     HA HA ]  ,, :\
       /  && _C ,""        ""\\_:__\

         ) (                `.' )\
        (  |                   /  \

who is foiled in the nick of time by none other than the hero (who is
coincidentally named Nicholas de Temps) just before the train goes
whipping by. I'll let you draw the rest.

That should liven up the animation newgroup. Who knows, maybe Krogg will
do a similar one that depicts Nick getting there just a little too late
and in a rage at seeing his beloved in pieces, throwing the villain in
front of the next train.
