How to prevent the cartoons from displaying in your browser
You will need to be logged in as a user in order to do this.
Open your monobook.css page, this will be User:yourUserName/monobook.css
Add the following line:
#mi{display: none;}
Press Save.
Alternatively, if you have Mozilla Firefox, right-click the image and click "Block images from upload.wikimedi...". You do not have to be logged in to do this. (Note that this alternative will turn off the display of images on many other articles as well, not just this one.)
Note: you will need to bypass your browser's cache for the images to be hidden. Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), IE: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5.
