thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions about how to embed sound in a picture. I'll try a couple of them tomorrow. About half of you suggested Flash. I'm not sure how that helps. I don't want to make an animatic and then have to upload that to youtube or something and then link back to my blog. Too many steps for me and for the reader.

I just want separate pictures that scroll exactly like they do now, except that I want you to be able to click them and hear the sound-without going to another page and interrupting the flow of the story.

Like a talking comic strip that you read (listen to) at your own pace.

Something simple and fast to do. I'm gonna try Sean's suggestion first.

Found

George Peed's best character translation.
This is someone else on the back, but it's pretty swell too.

George Peed

George Peed was the 70s and 80s king of off - model. Check out Bugs' little hands.He drew tons of cartoon record album covers and they outraged me when I first saw them, but I quickly grew to love them.
The funny part is, these look accurate compared to the way they've been drawn in the last decade or so.
I love those donkey ears on Porky and Elmer's tiny wide set eyes.
Did you know that George is Bill Peet's brother? Bill changed his name slightly, but George stuck to his heritage.

I wish I could find some of the covers George did with Popeye on them. If you have one, send me a link! They're hilarious.

BTW, I drew a George Peed face on the sun in a ren and Stimpy cartoon.
Thanks to Tony W. for finding it for me.
