# Pretty obvious, I know.
Anyway, listening to Monster Mash on the radio has got me all Hellowe'en-y, so I made:



Tis Count Spatula, or Vlad Spatul, or Spat, or Sp. Depending on how well you know him.

PS I don't know how to optimise in Paint, so apologies for file size.

# *Quotes like a good boy*
For file size, 50k has always been a good target for a still image, but anything up to 100KB is acceptable. Likewise, animated gifs should be kept as small as possible, but never exceed 400 KB. Please do your best to optimise your work where appropriate, as some users still use dialup. A good joke won't be spoiled by a slightly lower quality image.

slightly smaller would've been enough to knock off that 9kb

but apologising because you don't know how to do something does not make it OK when you go ahead and post it anyway. You should consider learning in case you make another image you can't optimise.

When you go back to my images. any image you uploaded with a click for bigger now generates the same code as when you first posted.
So basically you can repost the code and have it just like the first time.

You are the first person to fail to optimise in the new filesize restrictions. You go down in fail history.
