I'm enjoying these, don't get me wrong. It's just that these pages have so many large files linked to them that this one (page 19), for example, has taken over 15 minutes to load. Yes, I'm one of the primitives who still only has 52Kbps dial-up.
So I can't scan it more than once a week. Even a second visit later in the day means that these have expired from my browser cache. (I only keep that at 10 MB.)
I'm glad that Loser is using THUMBnails, but as others have pointed out, their benefits in easier display don't mean that they take any less time to load -- the originals are sized down by LW.net.
I hate to say it, but the only way around this is to create (and host) thumbnails oneself, making a 200-to-300-pixel .gif version, which would be displayed with a link to the original this way (change { } to [ ]):
For me something like this might not be a bad idea. I have enough space available where it wouldn't be much of a problem to host the additional files, but I know some of the folks using free image hosting might run into a space crunch trying to host two separate files for each image they want to host here.

I was noticing your avatar it looks so cool, you are so lucky!

And speaking of cats...well, kind of at least...here's Adam Hughes' Super Pets Playing Poker! This was a surprisingly complicated coloring job (70+ layers, for anyone who cares), but I'm pretty satisfied with how it came out.
