Yes, and that's a standard technique that's been used by animators to portray rapid and comic motion since the 1940s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dover_Boys). Of course multiple frames in the same sequence will use the same effect.

The Dover Boys employ smears, yes, because it's pose to pose, with the smear translating the movement. (Incidentally I love that cartoon, and I was just about to link a picture to you as an example of smearing, before I realized you'd already done it for me. <3)

I could excuse it as a smear if i'd only seen that one frame. But in the gif, no matter what you grab (because it's a complete running cycle), Aang still looks bizarre, between the expression and the weirdly exaggerated movements, the terrible foreshortening and spreadeagled limbs, and the so-called smears not clearly connecting any movements. How is it a smear if it doesn't smear?

A smear can certainly run from multiple frames if the action in question is comic. To my memory (don't have the files with me) that gif runs about twice as long as the actual sequence in question.
