Folks, this is treading on new ground, so feedback on opinions, suggestions, likes, dislikes, etc. are again encouraged.

Stupidity is in the mind of the cogitator.
Old Mother Hubbard sat in her cupboard,
Drowning her sorrows in hay.
Along came a spider who sat down to chide her,
But he could think of nothing to say.
Awesome!!!!
I love it! I think I will make it into my desktop... And it's so cool the way you put them on a real background!

Feedback is positive, I see...
Thank you!
But... "caption"? What do you mean by that?

Oh.
My confusion was spawned from the idea that one might refer to them in the plural...

Oh Wow!
I can't believe how wonderful this looks. The splickies look so real on the real background. I just love them and their stupid little missions.
One tiny suggestion: The writing - word balloons, explanatory notes, and description of the Splicky mission for the day - could all be bigger in my opinion. But keep in mind that I'm older than the rest of you, and I can still read it all.

At 100% zoom I couldn't even see the whole image on my screen, and they looked alright to me. Part of the problem is that the image needs to be no larger than 1600 px in its largest dimension, or it'll be so big people can't download it. I'll see what I can do in the future...

Weighing in...
I think it looks great, and I can't wait to see more.
The biggest problem with hand-drawn text is that the characters too inconsistant for people to recognize immediately. Thus, at smaller size, it requires quite a lot of concentration to "get it".
Also... I can see the edge of the original picture to the left.
And... why have all the splickies had their noses amputated save the one front and center?
Inquiring minds want to know.

If the definition of mass is an object's resistance to accelleration, and gravity is just a constant accelleration, shouldn't really massive objects just float?

First of all...
WARNING: SPLICKY APPEARANCES MAY VARY
Translation:
\t Some splickies have more obvious facial features than others. This is just something I made up about the creatures. ...Just like the fact that some of them have patterns instead of solid skin colors.

So...
Can there be a splicky with three arms and razor-sharp teeth?
Okay, the truth comes out. I'm just giving you a hard time.

Maybe so, but you forgot to replace the 'l' in "please" with a 'w'!
No, I'm kidding. The day I draw such a hideous abomination, the Malex Media Network will have died long ago.

He( ? ) looks like an evil gryphon or something. How can he have a beak and fangs? One would think that the beak wouldn't close right... pure speculation though.

Well
Didn't that one type of bird have a beak and fangs? Wasn't it an archepteridex (SP) or something? (or was that some evolotionist hoping for proof?)

Archaeopteryx didn't have fangs, just teeth
Yeah, that's a real bird; it's looks a little reptilian, so some evolutionists were trying to prove that it was really a lizard that had grown wings!! However, it has been proven that it's completely bird; it just happens to have bony wings and teeth! The evolutionists have since become very embarassed about the archaeopteryx escapade, and have come up with five other "missing links" since then.
Here is a link with more info about dino-bird transitions (from a creation point of view) in case anyone is interested.

Splicky Mission
Very cool Quartz. I'm not going to make it my desktop wallpaper yet because right now my wallpaper is a sweet photo of a turntable deck made by Technics, but I saved your Splicky Mission for when I get bored with the Technics.
Even though it looks like he's the first one to light anything, the intelligent Splicky lighting the stick of dynamite doesn't really have a shot at the cash prize, does he? Or being alive for that matter.
Siggy -
No actual Icepunks were harmed in the making of this post.
"Thank you"s and No
"... I saved your Splicky Mission ... to make it my desktop wallpaper ..." -Icepunk
I'm flattered! I didn't think anybody would like it that much.
"... the intelligent Splicky lighting the stick of dynamite doesn't really have a shot at the cash prize, does he?" -Icepunk
No, not really.
