i was trying to show the book arm moving a bit, wasn't sure if it should sway back and forth or something. it does look a bit distracting, doesn't it. i was trying various arm/hand/book animations, guess i need to keep fiddling. thanks :)

A good piece, looks quite simpsonesque. I agree with Romson on the sleeve movement.

Pretty good! Animation is quite simple, so I can't tell much 'cept it well done.

Hand with the book requires attention (maybe for me, but sleeve edge moves up and down and it's looks a bit  unnaturally cuz character don't move his hand).
