Rather than wobbling the image, I'd like to see someone "skilled in the art" create a version of that picture with sparks flying from the tip of the fuse.
IMO that would be a far more effective use of the Animated GIF technique.
Sure, the actual image does show a flame at the tip, but it almost looks like a pompom. At a glance, "the prophet" can be mistaken for a Scottish lad wearing a tam-o’-shanter!
If there were actual sparks flying out of the tip of the fuse... wow. The effect would be most effective! Almost hypnotic, eh?
