Is my walking animation passable?

Hello all,
This is my first post on Game Dev but i'm sure many more will follow!

I have a stick figure walking animation that i made. I am not at all a graphics guy but i feel like i have been doing a passable job so far.
Let me know what you think of it!

Note: The quality got terribly when i put it through two websites to get it here :-D

Pay attention to his legs.

The back leg never seems to move because you have both legs ending up at the same pose... so it looks like one leg is stiff and being dragged behind. Only if I glance at it or look at it long enough do I even notice that it looks like a normal walk.

This is only really a big issue with such simplified line work because we can't tell what leg is in the front and what leg is in the back.

Hmm... thats what i thought but i wasn't sure how to fix it. I'l try making them end in different positions
I agree with these guys. I would also say exaggerate the walk much more (longer stride, more arm movement, and give him some weight or bounce). A good start though.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
