I'd Quote a Benny Hill Sketch, But I Don't Have It Handy

Flash animation.

I like a good share of it. I used to follow MondoMiniShows every week till their inexplicable implosion circa 2001. (I was particularly into "Piki & Poko", "Thugs On Film" and "Heavy Metal Guy".) I used to follow WB's online toon "Gotham Girls", based on the femme characters of Batman. I kinda like the animated "8-Bit Theater", even if the webstrip itself doesn't really grab me. (I showed Mom "Garland vs. The Imps" and she loved it.)

In relatively recent times, I found that I could use IrfanView and ZoomPlayer to watch Flash files, so I've been peeking at stuff I've downloaded. But some files refuse to play, due to one technical fault or another. I used to have the main official Flash/Dreamweaver program, but it was installed on Celery Green--and while I still have its Hard Drive, it's currently inaccessible.

Yeah, if a Flash film's hosted on-line, I still could watch via Internet Explorer's plug-in, but if it isn't, I'm out of luck. And waiting for it to load to my cache is tedious. Gotta be a better way. :(
