Nicely original. I'm not sure if I'd want to control him though, but that's just me.

wonderful!! i have some things i'm not sure about, i dont know if you did them intentionally:
1: the eye, in the his right view, has the pupil(sp?=the black dot) looking forward, and maybe it shoud look to our right.
2: the hands are drawn in a different way in each view:
in the 1st view, it looks like the thumb is looking outwards the body, so the fist is perpendicular to the body;
in the 2nd view,  the fists also looks  perpendicular to the body;
in the third, the fist looks parallel to the body
in the 4th i dont know, i cant see any fingers ;D
3: maybe you could make some shar angles in the head shape rounder, but as they are square in all views, i suppose you want them this way.

I like it.. in a demented sort of way, I suppose.  However a couple comments..  The bulging eye would look a bit more bulging and not merely oversized if you extended your shading a bit..  maybe if you used the same slightly darker shade from the head to make some shadow where that humongous eye blocks the light.  Also, the arms/legs currently look very double-pixelly, I could add/subtract some pixels to give them a more consistent look (i.e. more "tube-like" the same width all the way through).  

Excellent work though... if you could get a decent-looking walking animation outta this, I'm sure it would be quite entertaining.  ;D

I made some changes.

The hands are slightly fixed. I guess it will do.

I shaded the big eye, inside and outside.

I fixed the stupid pupil thing...don't know how I missed him oogling out at me like that.

Round head and tube like arms I don't know if I can do without completely redoing him. I'm not that good at this sort of thing.

Now it's time to work on that walk animation...

EDIT: Attempt at walk animation:

I love the walk animation! it's seems a liitle off, like hes leaning to far forward, but that fits the character well...

almost good, but the leg movement has a glitch in it when the foot bends, but the hands and the rest rock!

Nice walking anim!
But I think occasional bopping up and down one pixel in his head, and some small enlarging/shrinking in his eyes while he's walking would be even kooler.

The right and left animations. I added some hair and head bobbing so hopefully it will be a little less robot like. :(

EDIT: Front and back:

it looks like both his hands are turned the same way in the side walking view, and is that little bit supposed to be his thumb?

I really like the back and forward animation.

see what i would have done for left right  animation

only to make it look like the forward backward animation
because the the animation is cooler in those case

(http://user.deluxnetwork.com/~petaglair/jackrun3pirate.gif)

it's dirty i did it in 3 minutes but i think it's closer to the forward back loops.
(the left elbow is a bit stretched, i guess)

just a remark
the number of frame is a fake issue in animation
you can have an anim that looks smoother with less frames only because you handled them better
for example i think your anim woulb be more efficient or even funnier with 2 frames less and a better organisation
but it's not a real critic

Nice work! It sure seems from his walk like he has personality.
