Reactions/Reviews

A Pros vid to "Stray Cat Strut" was a big hit [at 1995 ZCon] and earned many a well-deserved moan at the contest, too" [1]

"Most memorable con moment was when I found out we won the Best of Show award for our "Stray Cat Strut" vid -- very rewarding feeling, that. I have to say, I'm surprised we finished that vid as quickly as we did, considering the number of Doyleys lounging around Sandy's living room, forcing her to pause to rewatch prime Doyle moments every few minutes, with loud sighs all 'round... Yeah." [2]

You know, Sandy, I wish you'd have been able to see the reaction your Stray Cat Strut vid got at the Z-Con contest. It brought the house down! It was an artful piece of what Agnes referred to as blatant pandering to the Doyle fen (heh-heh). Congratulations!"[3]

t was a wonderful reaction. I often tease Sandy about her Doyle fanatacism (probably too much), but the vid really got the audience, and the vid *really was good*. I really enjoyed watching it, and seeing people's laughs and applauds to "tail in the air" among others. [4]

"Who else has had Stray Cat Strut running in an endless loop in their head for the past 5 days?"[5]

"This is one of the few vids i saw at Z-Con last year and I about laughed myself sick. I *love* the whole concept and execution. If Doyle's a cat, he's definitely an alley cat.[6]

Meg just showed me a songvid of Doyle to Stray Cat ... something or other (sorry, I *suck* with titles). It was wonderful!! I think it was on one of her Media Cannibals tapes. Oh, yummy yummy yummy. And so fitting.[7]
