And now, our winning Flipnotes from last week’s Topic “Forgetful“.

Well done to everyone who entered.

When on the brink of beginning a Topic entry, an enthusiastic creator is struck down by a fit of forgetfulness! Evidently, this didn’t happen! But instead, the idea was turned into this hilarious winning Topic Flipnote by ◇Shard◇.

Including expert character animation as well as lip-sync and voice acted dialogue, a fatigue-ridden, crashed out PC takes the comedy biscuit, when it remains slumped on the ground through to the very end, accompanied by just the perfect melancholy melody.

In a twist on the established form, when Peter Griffin tries to “Remember da time” with Lois, this time, she turns out to be more than a little forgetful, in this Family Guy inspired Topic winner Flipnote by Stevie Rat.

The character likenesses, and ironically tearful punchline bring the cartoon-topic concept together beautifully.

In this winning character animation by Glin, like all goldfish, Le Poisson Steve’s memory is rather on the short side. So much so, in fact, that he’s completely forgotten his name!

And to say the least, he’s none too pleased about it!

Complete with shiny gold coloring (done in highlighted paintbrush shade), along with the use of an incredibly expressive rage graphic, it shows, in spectacular fashion, just how infuriating forgetfulness can be!

In this final winning Topic entry, Lol Wolf demonstrates, perhaps the most important thing never to forget....

Namely breathing!

The results, as we can see, are understandably disastrous!

This Weeks Topic - "Segways and Hoverboards"

Segways and Hoverboards are two wheeled transportational devices that are controlled by the rider’s weight distribution.

When successfully driven, they provide a remarkably smooth, stylish, and unique ride. However, for the inexperienced, an accident is often seconds away, where the tiniest error can escalate, sending them wildly flying, sprawling, and crashing, as these linked videos clearly demonstrate!
