Or maybe you could just tickle him a little?

Is there a function to do that? :P

Maybe have a total face image and then on top of the face image have a couple of `corner of the mouth` small images which you either animate or rotate to make it smile?

Yes i think its the simples solution to implement. I am making a infinite face generator, i thought that it was a good idea to have the image of a face and distort it to make it move and have many expressions, i think im going to have lots of "corner of mouth" types of images for the different expressions and put them all together at random, and animate them, i know how to do that allready so i wont need to study complex per pixel manipulation. Thanks.
