Thank you ASTempleton and jmax! The initial disappointment from the poor response has really slowed down the production of the next episode and then that was further compounded by some stuff in my personal life I don't want to talk about. But I will be making another (hopefully 3 more). A while back I was showing it to some independent film makers in Seattle (in a theater, yeah!) and the festival director for Seattle True Independent Film Festival told me I needed to submit to his fest, and that there would be about 95% chance of it making the cut. So it should be showing there in about four months and I hope I can get around two more episodes done before it plays, or at least thats the plan.

Great to see Haiku Menace finding some proper fans - it well deserves it, if you ask me! Any news on the rest of the series, Slothpaladin?

Charming! Clever premise. I love it how only villains use "thwart"... And I dunno about the story being "lacking." I thought of it as tantalising, wishing there were more. Just need to find an investor or angel and time off from the day job to give Aardman a run for their money. Keep up good work.
