I see that you are on AOL.
Are you aware that AOL uses a different font than what
the ASCII art is created and viewed in?  And did you know
that AOL (and WebTV) do not have options for changing
that font?  I'm betting that your ASCII art is not being torn
apart-- it is getting skewed by AOL's proportional font.
People receiving it and viewing it in the correct font will
see it just fine.

If you are still confused, visit the ASCII art FAQ...
