This is George Herriman's Krazy Kat Screencast #00. It is a big improvement over the first prototype, which may be seen on my youtube channel here:.

I feel this screencast should be shorter in length to be useful. In this 'cast I tried to enhance the entertainment value by adding another voice to my own; that of Eddie Rochester Anderson (and Jack Benny). I am experimenting with different means of presenting visual media to compliment oral discussion. Please offer your advice and criticism to make this screencast more watchable and entertaining.
