By the way, can anyone help me get the size of this next one down to 30kb EVEN? I want to use it as an avatar.

Thanks! How did you do it?

In your gif, I see the words "Zwei Gruppe"
The correct spelling is "Zweite Gruppe".
"Zwei Gruppe" translates into "two group"...

Yes, would it not be properly pronounced 2 group? Or is that just the RAF?

No, because its II./KG 200 = second group of KG 200

You can write "Gruppe Zwei" (="Group Two"), but "Zweite Gruppe" is much better and "Zwei Gruppe" is solecistic.

Wow, you're right. 48 bytes too big. That's a pain. I could lower it a notch, but it might look smurfy.

Here's the next-best:

Is there any way to sharpen "Zweite Gruppe"? It gave me a headache looking at it. Other than that, perfect! Thank you so much!

Try to reduce the file size of the individual pictures and scale them down to 80x80 px, BEFORE assembling the gif.

Well, Yes....
One of the best ways to make your own animated gif is by sharpening each image you have before you place them into the animation itself.  Make each image how you want it before you combine them all.  Center each item first so they are not all over the place.  Ooz did a good job centering his photo's of his owner.... errrr, girlfriend.  Then make sure you speed is good for it to make sure you get a good view of each one.....
Oh, and here is a sheep avatar for you...... :D
