That whole stretchy business is done kinda poorly

The fact that you added bounce like that shows you know what you're doing, but the way you did it only really works well in programs like Flash.

I'd suggest going in a fixing up all the lines that are blurred and broken because of it.

Another thing:

In animations like this, where the motions are realy exaggerated, you need a lot more frames of follow-through


Here, his arms should drag down a little more, maybe down 1 pixel for 1 frame, because how it is now its like they just hit something.


But seriously though, other than that, I've got nothing but good things to say. The Art style is great and I want to see any more characters if you have any.
Also, Jeph with a Ph? Never seen it spelled that way. Neat.

... I'm kinda hamming it up here, do I at least sound like I know what I'm doing?

That's about 10 frames, you could probably pull it off in less, but take a look.

It kinda goes like this:

Initial Pose > Initial Reaction, recoils slightly in the shoulders > Second reaction, Arm flies back, apply motion blur as necessary > Settling frames, Slow down the arm, showing resistance > Return to starting pose > Settling, Give him a little bounce as he reaches rest position.
