New to Ascii Art !

i'm new to Ascii Art, but i'm really excited. i've enjoyed Ascii Art,
though i didn't know what it was called, for a Long Time. i'm looking
forward to becoming friends with all of you in the Future.

i've read the Faq, but there are still a few questions i might have. if
you could please point me in the right direction i'd really Appreciate
it.

first, i wanted an program to make Ascii Arts out of graphical images
(like Gifs, Jpegs, &c). the Faq and other resources pointed me towards
Gifscii, but all the Urls i found were obsolete, and a copy i did manage
to find (through gopher i think) didn't work right on my unix box--it
displayed the image on only one line and didn't show anything.

second, i want to start making Ascii Art Comic Strips. are there any
programs to make this task Easier? something that would place the
Characters and make quote bubbles automatically and make sure that the
quote bubbles don't bump into each other is what i'm Thinking.

& lastly, are there any collections of Small Ascii Arts?  by Small i
mean smaller than maybe 8 columns by 5 lines. i'm looking for ideas for
Characters and can use all the help i can get.

thanks!!!
