You can export them from GIMP as a MNG (which is the animated form of PNG), which exports each layer as a separate animation frame, because of course it does, what a convenient way to animate things.
You can then feed the MNG to ImageMagick convert, targeting PDF which converts every frame back into a PDF page, because of course it does what a convenient way to make a flick book.
This probably would work with GIF animation too.

@PeterAranyi Hi Peter, don't know if this article via @mala pushes your buttons, I found it quite a paradigm shift:
“The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the pieces.” We have tinkered, lost some of the most important pieces, and tried to put many where they don’t belong.

Anyone know the origins/meaning of the Mastodon logo? (Not the mammoth, but the round one with three cartouches.)
I ask because the cartouches with dots in them remind me of a tree's seed pods. Which remind me of this amazing article I read a few years back "The Trees That Miss The Mammoths" http://www.americanforests.org/magazine/article/trees-that-miss-the-mammoths/
It's quite a read.

Before you get all sophmoric, "toot" entered the lexicon in the year 897, when it meant "to protude", as in a plant appearing above ground. Around 1516, it came to mean "to sound or blow a horn". It didn't get toilet-associated until 1965. What a bunch of toots. ("Idle or worthless person," ca. 1888).
I love the OED.
