 These are very cute Geraldine!
One thing that you might want to take into
consideration when creating the ASCII art
is the tilde ~ characters.  In some fixed-width
fonts it appears at the top of the space.
In other fixed-width fonts, it appears in the
center of the space-- similar to the hyphen -

So this pic, when viewed in the first kind of
fixed-width font, looks perfect.  And when
viewed in the second kind of fixed-width font,
the poor duckie has lost the top of its head.

Do I make sense?

It is a wonderful pic...  too bad we can't 
guarantee that all people will see the tilde
at the top part of the space...

As an aside, I usually avoid using that
character just for that reason... unless it
really doesn't make a difference in
positioning.. such as using it for texture...
