How to draw a gif animation in java? [duplicate]

Question

I have some gif animated images (see sample image below)
and when I draw them with the graphics object, I am getting only the first image,
I know I can do this with JLabel (from other stackoverflow answers)
but I want to do that with the graphics object,
can anyone please tell me
an easy way how to draw the whole animation?

It may have to to do with how you're reading in the image. If you use ImageIO.read, it won't work. If you read it as an ImageIcon it seems to work

ImageIcon.getImage()

Image icon = new ImageIcon(new URL("http://i.stack.imgur.com/KSnus.gif")).getImage();
...
g.drawImage(icon, 20, 20, this);

Image with ImageIO

Image icon = ImageIO.read(new URL("http://i.stack.imgur.com/KSnus.gif"));
...
g.drawImage(icon, 20, 20, this);
