Ascii-art is fun in itself, but it has two special advantages for me. One is that you can create a simple line shape suggesting what you want when, even with drawing software, you might not have the skills to put together a realistic drawing of something like my drowned dog. Also, you can put artwork into a presentation with no more bandwidth than text uses, to go wherever text goes when there's no agreed way to mix images into the text: for example, signatures in email and title pages on (text only) bulletin boards. |~/ |~/ ~~|;'^';-._.-;'^';-._.-;'^';-._.-;'^';-._.-;||';-._.-;'^';||_.-;'^'0-|~~ P | Woof Woof, Glug Glug ||____________|| 0 | P O | Who Drowned the Judge's Dog? | . . . . . . .
