I remember a game I liked to play when I was a child : we folded a sheet
of paper in four horizontal parts (see sketch below). Then one of us
would draw a head on the first part and hide it, leaving marks on the
second part to show where the neck ended. Then the second would draw a
body (without knowing how the head looked like), the third drew legs and
the fourth drew feet. Then we unfolded the paper and the result often
looked funny.

What about doing the same in ascii ?
I've already draw a head, and here's the last neck's line :

         |   `-'   |

Someone could draw the body part, mail it to me (including the last
neck's line), and post here the last body's line. Then someone else
could draw the legs, mail them to me and, post the last leg's line ; and
finally someone could draw the feet and mail them to me.

When I'll have all four parts I'll put them together and post the
result.

(Of course, feel free to shift previous part's last line to the right if
you don't have enough place ...)

Have fun !


Stef
