    Originally I had FLIPBOOKS11AThey look like animation, on paper?[---------] as my seed entry, then I decided to use BELLYFLOP22AIt’s a failure on the surface?[---------] just for the FLIP/FLOP symmetric pair. Then I found a way to clue BELLYFLOP22AIt’s a failure on the surface?[---------] and kind of echo the FLIPBOOKS11AThey look like animation, on paper?[---------] clue.

      Didn't even notice until after the solve, but I like the "mini-theme." Well done!
