Well, the original drowning dog was just something I made up
before I came here.  I suppose I had seen from someone how
to draw a wave; Rob Nauta has one, they aren't uncommon.
Rendering Elron & the Tomato from the photograph to line
was something I did after I'd seen the group & gained in confidence.

Actually the main examples of ascii-art I saw were on a.r.s:
the new squirel with his squirel, jostp with his sleeping cat,
and webwalker with his piggies. Before the newsreader had an
address book, I had a Windoxe "cardfile" of newsgroup
contributors with stuff like that in it.
