Careful, Doc. It isn't outside the realm of possibility that m'man Substance feeds Dash to the dog thing. I'm not sure we have any kind of media use treaty with his evil nation...
Frau Doktorin reckons that the eyes make the current spiderdog is less horrifying, because the bump distortion is sufficiently extreme that they don't look like eyes any more. Doktorling Sonja approves.
Wasn't meant as a criticism, more an explanation. There's a scene in Altered States where Ken Russell, whose literal-mindedness allows him to extract the maximum kitsch from any opportunity, depicts the lamb from Revelation with the seven horns and the seven eyes. And yes, it is TOTAL KITSCH.
While I kill time waiting for a download, this is all Quartz Composer, Quicktime, and The Gimp, the latter two for format conversion only.
You make two lines for a leg, hide the beginning point behind the head, and put the knee and the foot points in motion. (Really easy to give this guy boots.) Then copy paste x3 and slightly alter the values in sequence. Then copy and paste that whole lot, reversing values more or less for four more legs.
The values sent to the knee points can be averaged and then fiddled with a little more to control the head bounce and make it look like you really thought about it.
There are two stroller pushers: one disappears when a point on the X axis is reached, then another shoots up the Y and hides behind the dog head. Pretty easy to sync that with the tongue.
All motion was controlled with the equivalents of synthesizer LFOs, all of it visible in real time as it was constructed. Then export as a movie, export as an image sequence, and build a GIF out of that.
ZRM's got a Mac: he should be building shaky houses with zombies in 'em.

I've been waiting for you, Gilliam. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now *I* am the master.
Now it's getting weird
He just keeps slurpin' 'em up. It's not like I'm rich.
When it gets weird, the weird git et.
That's strangely hypnotic. I may watch that instead of TV tonight.

every guy looks happy when we're being given a bubble bath, Marita.

The kid's gonna grow a moustache at SOME point.
Boy, that hideous monster looks pretty happy to get fed. Somehow less horrifying than the last one.
That is not a kind thing to say about Dash.
it doesn't eat the one I put right in front of it's tongue. I think Dog-Spider is kind of stupid.
Forgot to animate the brain.
When Spiderpup Net became self-aware.
McGRAVITAS MUST BE KILLED!!!!

A fair criticism, but I was thinking a bit aboutthis version of Shub-Niggurath.

Google to the rescue!
I remember that goat. Muppety.

synthesizer LFOs?
Too much worky-worky-worky!
That is frighteningly good.
