In my ongoing / half-assed attempt to cut down on file sizes in order to save bandwidth, I have converted the first 12 episodes from GIF to PNG, and optimized a few other comics here and there. For fun, I calculated the before and after sizes of Episodes 1-12 (like some sort of diet pill infomercial):

BEFORE OPTIMIZATION: 1448 KB
AFTER OPTIMIZATION: 872 KB
——
AMOUNT SAVED: 576 KB (or about a half a meg) 

Now too shabbity, huh? I can only imagine the potential amount saved once I get all the way up to Episode 151 (the last non-animated comic done in GIF format). Of course, at the rate I’m going, I won’t get there for a few years yet. Plus, I still have to update the first 92 or so to the relatively newer lower-size layout. Oh well, just something to look forward to… *sigh*
