My new avatar started out with only a few frames but playing with gif files is so addicting by the time I had it to this point I'm over 100 frames. Maybe I'll give cartooning a shot using Gimp.

I was going to comment on your avatar earlier when I first saw it. Looking good, Dad.
So, this is all done in the Gimp?

Awesome!!!! Very good avatar, Dadster!!! Have a cookie.. I need to try another animation one of these days..... my first wasn't particularly good, but I figured out how to do them, which was what I wanted to do...... one of these days I'll start in again. You're right.... it is very addictive!

Let me think about it  Maybe just a basic tut of how the gif's work and how you put together a simple one.... then the 'student' could add to their project as they wanted to.... the basics are the same, whether it's 30 layers or 200, right?

Yes, just a start or 2 or 3. I have done some movement things in Gimp...but just moving from picture to picture. Then I made or tried to make this smiley in Paintshop.   Avatar (No....not the movie) So not really asking for much of a tutorial...just something (easy) to try.
