I'm making a website for my brother's webcomic, which was previously hosted on Tumblr. What is the most efficient/logical option for storing the pictures?

  1. Downloading and putting the path in the Db
  2. Storing them in the database, base64-encoded
  3. linking directly to the pictures on Tumblr

wat do?

If the tumblr site is going to remain active I would lean towards using the Tumblr API to get at the photos. You could then just write some javascript/jquery functions to display the images however you want.

I've done something similar in the past with Google Picasa Albums and it worked out pretty well.

Just a little additional info, in the past I've found using jquery plugins sometimes makes it a bit mor simple to get at the data I'm looking for. Never used this one in particular but just a quick search and found this as an example of one that might be helpful.
