enlarging a cartoon screen capture from a TV recording

I captured the attached image from a MythTV recording. A buddy of mine would get a kick out of it if I could find a way to enlarge it such that it looks good on a Letter- or A4-sized printout.

I've enlarged the image 10x and successfully applied the "Despackle" filter, but the lines in the cartoon look pretty blurry. The "Sharpen" and "Antialias" filters don't seem to readily do what I want them to do.

Does anyone have some suggestions on how to clean the image up so that it looks good enlarged?

Thanks, Greg

I'd trace it using inkscape. Possibly one colour at a time, e.g. using gimp to save multiple separate canvas-sized images.

Then use path->simplify in inkscape, and get rid of the image layers, and you're on your way!
