How would I stitch together sequential photos of sections of an art scroll?

[Lee]

I have an artist friend who has been doing daily art relevant to the
politics of the war in Iraq, since the day the war began. He has
completed many art/commentary scrolls (like a time-line of political
cartoons), each of which is about one foot wide and 60 to 100 feet
long. I have put a couple of (partly overlapable) photos of one
section of one of the scrolls at:
http://StopGrinding.com/TestSet1/DSCN3876.JPG
and
http://StopGrinding.com/TestSet1/DSCN3877.JPG

These sequences of pictures are a linear set, each taken from the same
distance, centered on sequential segments of a scroll. Can any of the
stitching programs be set up to join and merge such a linear set of
photos into one long thin digital image?

I would like to help my friend create a long thin JPEG image of each
scroll, which could be put on the web. A browser such as Firefox
would then allow someone to move along the scroll with a linear slider
bar.

What do you recommend?

Hugin can be used to create these linear panoramas. See the following tutorials:

I've done some myself:

that's funny.

The old Irish notes would have been good to do.
The higher the denomination the wider the grin on the portrait until
the 50 punt was laughing out loud.
