May I suggest using cartoons from the country?
Would certainly abate my pedantry :D

I know what you mean, I had thought about it, but tintin's hair was all I could see and I haven't got the time to search for Icelandic shaped cartoon characters, from Iceland?

If you did want to use Aussie cartoons
I'd suggest Ginger Meggs, or Bluey and Curly, as I really like this idea of yours a LOT

Is there no more modern cartoons?
Looks like one's from the 40's and the other's from the 80's?

Just a few come to mind...
The Phantom is probably most well known world wide
Then there's Swamp by Gary Clarke
Ginger Meggs is a bit dated, yeah, but still in circulation
Black Stump
Bazza Mackenzie is a classic, but also from the 70's

Yep, never knew Kevin Rudd had a dog
But sincerely, KRudd and Tintin are indistinguishable

Posting while you all sleep or whatnot...
There's this great rockabilly/blues band I follow and in a fit of artistic love, I drew each of the members and posted their 'portraits' to their Bookface page by way of 'thanks for the music'.
I was totally floored when they contacted me and asked if they could send me out some merchandise in thanks and did they have permission to use my artwork on their homepage, Bookface page and in the booklet for their next album which is being recorded as we speak? After I stopped hyperventilating in excitement, I gave them my blessings to do what they wanted with it. Needless to say, I'm still on cloud nine. Just had to share.
Edit: Thank you, beautiful b3tans all :)

No, gif is the right choice to preserve fine detail.
The reason it's massive is because it's actually 1000 pixels wide and has only been scaled down in HTML.

if you want fine detail then png is your friend
gif fucks the colours down to 255 and has a compression algorithm that hasn't changed since 1995
It's fine for animations or reduced palette work but not much else. And I'm guessing this originally was more colours
