For me I don't get gifs, just a list of stills from the same scene

I think he's making a joke about clicking the "next image" fast enough that it appears to be animated.

Are there plans for an API? I think it'd be fun to try and get a Pebble Time app working with this.

There is one - open up the page and look in the web inspector.

Authors: Can you describe the backend infrastructure?

I'm just a bit curious here about the costs of running a toy service like this.

Awesome work. I saw when you announced it on r/thesimpsons. What do you think of Josh Weinstein getting such a kick out of this on Twitter?

Also please give the text a slight drop shadow, if possible.

Ps. This makes me so happy. Thank you for making it.
