Oh wow; my animation is kinda like this since I had to draw everything over and over again too; but how am I supposed to make an animation without having to do that?
@rocko428 You can have thin tracing paper and separate different certain parts of the cartoon to different layers. One piece of paper over the other, and so on. I used Flash and Computer paper to do my stuff sometimes, so I'm sure that the same thing can be applied to traditional animation.
Layer 1: Background
Layer 2: Maybe your character holding a pose?
Layer 3: Your characters arm is waving while your character's body has a still pose. Hope this helps!
I did this project in school, and we couldn't afford cels. So I used unregistered typing paper, and used a baking pan to line up the drawings. So, yes, like Gertie, everything had to be drawn over and over again. (But not as well as Winsor McCay.)
I may upload some of it. It's kind of precious to me, so I don't think I want to do all of it. I will release it on DVD sometime soon with some other films.
I am reading your book (Creating Animated Cartoons with Character) This is great! Your inspiring to me! Thanks for writing this book! :)

This is what happens when Garfield eats a little TOO MUCH lasagna.

Why you're not using cels?
The animation style's like "Gertie the Dinosaur".

Hey Joe, will you be uploading "My Dog Zero"? Because it's not anywhere on Youtube right now.
