# ever tried
turning down the image quality?

that bottom one could be a GIF and lose no detail, but about 50% of the filesize... the top one probably would benefit similarly

# I thought that .gifs were larger than .jpgs
Anyhoo, I could tune down the image quality of the top one somewhat, but I've tried and failed with the bottom one.

# it's all relative
gifs work well on pics with few colours, sharp edges, and large areas with little change - both of these fit that mould well

jpeg works by removing the fine detail, which would masacre that (admittedly awful) "ha ha" background into unreadable sludge

# Ah, I see.
I'll go off and convert then.

The Ha Ha! background is intended to be awful too ;)
