Well, there a big GIFs and there are small GIFs - same with ASCII.  Example:

begin 600 sword.gif
Y1TE&.#=A0  @ (       /___RP     0  @   "BHR/J<OM#Z.<M-KK  :\Z]@%H<AEF(A\X*&B
Y64O!DTH_FBS5,6O@:7_Q^!J?TI UJNAFJ)OMISRYID3H[K1DC)*@TH8G#8O'Y++":TX#CVHLM?UB
YKX7TNOV.MN*W\$1>O@!(EC6S9W@84A34=Z9G",38(\-5A6AY)^84.::YF2GH&2HZ2EIJ>BI6   [

end

Btw, the creator is Johan Forsberg <d92...@nada.kth.se> [961220].
